Help Blessing restart a small grocery stall in Badagry after a fire in the building
Blessing lost a cold-storage unit to a fire in the building and needs $500 to reopen a small grocery stall and support the family.

For nine years I have run a small grocery stall in Badagry. In May, a fire in the building took a cold-storage unit. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Friday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 7 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:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $70
• Replacing a cold-storage unit: $330
• Working capital for the first month: $100
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
