Back to business - Obinna's comeback in Enugu
A neighborhood bakery in Enugu needs help replacing a commercial oven after floodwater.
🇳🇬 Enugu, Nigeria779 views
For six years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Enugu. In September, floodwater took a commercial oven. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Tuesday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 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 $250 goes:
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $65
• Replacing a commercial oven: $160
• Shop repairs and licensing: $25
Thanks for reading all this.

Best of luck, Obinna. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
hope the shop reopens soon. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Mombasa.
Hope things get better soon, Obinna. Your post was clear and honest. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Johannesburg
