Back to business - Tunde's comeback in Onitsha
Tunde has run a street-food cart for twelve years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $700 will put it back on its feet.

For twelve years I have run a street-food cart in Onitsha. In July, a storm that collapsed the roof 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 Saturday, and I employed 2 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 $700 goes:
• Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $460
• Initial stock: ingredients: $60
• Shop repairs and licensing: $85
• Working capital for the first month: $95
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Rooting for you, Tunde. Hope the shop reopens soon. My neighbor in Amsterdam donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
