Help Ifeanyi restart a street-food cart in Epe after a storm that collapsed the roof
A street-food cart in Epe needs help replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators after a storm that collapsed the roof.
🇳🇬 Epe, Lagos, Nigeria679 views
For twelve years I have run a street-food cart in Epe. In June, 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 Tuesday, and I employed 3 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 $650 goes:
• Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $410
• Initial stock: ingredients: $70
• Shop repairs and licensing: $70
• Working capital for the first month: $100
Glad we found this place.

Sending love. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
Shared it with a few friends. Love from Nairobi.
Keep going. Shared this with my family. Greetings from Scranton
so sorry you're going through this. Small businesses are the heart of Epe. Hope you're open again soon. Don't give up. Love from Brescia.
So sorry you're going through this. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Take care
hang in there, Ifeanyi. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
