Help Paul restart a small grocery stall in Bonny after a storm that collapsed the roof
A small grocery stall in Bonny needs help replacing a cold-storage unit after a storm that collapsed the roof.
🇳🇬 Bonny, Rivers, Nigeria608 views
For nine years I have run a small grocery stall in Bonny. In March, a storm that collapsed the roof took a cold-storage unit. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Thursday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 12 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 cold-storage unit: $220
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $85
• Shop repairs and licensing: $55
• Working capital for the first month: $90
Every share and every dollar helps.

Hang in there. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Hope you get there. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless.
Take care. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
