Back to business - Esther's comeback in Ikeja

Esther has run a small grocery stall for three years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $450 will put it back on its feet.

Ikeja
For three years I have run a small grocery stall in Ikeja. In August, a storm that collapsed the roof took a cold-storage unit. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Sunday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 10 weeks. This business pays my children's school fees and rent. I have already started working from home in small ways, but I can't meet orders without proper equipment. Every contribution brings me closer to reopening, and I promise to post photos as I buy each item. I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go. Where the $450 goes: • Replacing a cold-storage unit: $240 • Working capital for the first month: $95 • Initial stock: fresh produce: $115 Thanks for being kind about this. - Esther
