For three years I have run a street-food cart in Ikeja. In August, a long illness and repossession 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 10 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 $400 goes:
• Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $180
• Initial stock: ingredients: $85
• Shop repairs and licensing: $30
• Working capital for the first month: $105
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
