Back to business - Nnamdi's comeback in Nnewi
Nnamdi has run a street-food cart for four years; a break-in destroyed the equipment, and $350 will put it back on its feet.

For four years I have run a street-food cart in Nnewi. In April, a break-in took a gas stove and two refrigerators. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Thursday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 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 $350 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $75
• Working capital for the first month: $85
• Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $190
Thanks for being kind about this.
