Folake needs a freezer and scales to reopen a fish stall
A fish stall in Badagry needs help replacing a freezer and scales after a break-in.
🇳🇬 Badagry, Lagos, Nigeria1,257 views
For four years I have run a fish stall in Badagry. In October, a break-in took a freezer and scales. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Tuesday, and I employed 2 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 $300 goes:
• Replacing a freezer and scales: $165
• Initial stock: the first catch: $45
• Shop repairs and licensing: $65
• Working capital for the first month: $25
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Take care, Folake. Shared this with my family. I hope February is when things finally get easier. Love from Ballarat.
Wishing you peace, Folake. Looking forward to the next update. We're a small family in Seattle but we're thinking of you. Take care.
Sending love. Your post was clear and honest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Dnipro.
rooting for you, Folake. I hope things turn around soon.
