Help Ifeoma restart a fish stall in Lagos after the demolition of the market
Ifeoma has run a fish stall for three years; the demolition of the market destroyed the equipment, and $450 will put it back on its feet.
🇳🇬 Lagos, Lagos, Nigeria1,029 views
For three years I have run a fish stall in Lagos. In July, the demolition of the market took a freezer and scales. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Sunday, 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 $450 goes:
• Replacing a freezer and scales: $170
• Initial stock: the first catch: $95
• Shop repairs and licensing: $100
• Working capital for the first month: $85
If you're reading this, thank you.

hope things get better soon, Ifeoma. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't give up. Greetings from Charlotte.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Lagos
You're not alone, Ifeoma. Looking forward to the next update. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
thinking of you, Ifeoma. Hope you make a strong comeback. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings
