Help Ikenna restart a fish stall in Gwagwalada after the demolition of the market
A fish stall in Gwagwalada needs help replacing a freezer and scales after the demolition of the market.
🇳🇬 Gwagwalada, Abuja FCT, Nigeria1,381 views
For fifteen years I have run a fish stall in Gwagwalada. In May, 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 Tuesday, and I employed 1 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 $350 goes:
• Replacing a freezer and scales: $165
• Initial stock: the first catch: $95
• Shop repairs and licensing: $40
• Working capital for the first month: $50
With deep gratitude,
Ikenna

Thanks for sharing this, Ikenna. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Allentown.
Sending love, Ikenna. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Johannesburg.
Thinking of you, Ikenna. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Warren so I could bring a meal.
Wishing you the best. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Dhaka this morning.
Wishing you the best, Ikenna. Shared it with a few friends. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best
