Back to business - Lola's comeback in Awka
Lola lost display cabinets and a cooler to floodwater and needs $450 to reopen a flower stall and support the family.
🇳🇬 Awka, Anambra, Nigeria882 views
For six years I have run a flower stall in Awka. In September, floodwater took display cabinets and a cooler. 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 3 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $450 goes:
• Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $310
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $70
• Shop repairs and licensing: $45
• Working capital for the first month: $25
Thanks for being kind about this.
