Back to business - Peace's comeback in Ikeja
A tailoring shop in Ikeja needs help replacing three industrial sewing machines after a break-in.
🇳🇬 Ikeja, Lagos, Nigeria1,752 views
For nine years I have run a tailoring shop in Ikeja. In August, a break-in took three industrial sewing machines. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Wednesday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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 $500 goes:
• Initial stock: fabric and thread: $40
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $370
• Working capital for the first month: $90

Stay strong, Peace. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in 6th of October City donated after I showed her your page. All the best
Keep going, Peace. Hope you get there. Greetings from Berlin.
