Help Ronke restart a sewing studio in Ikeja after the demolition of the market
A sewing studio in Ikeja needs help replacing a cutting table and overlocker after the demolition of the market.

For four years I have run a sewing studio in Ikeja. In February, the demolition of the market took a cutting table and overlocker. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Friday, 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $350 goes:
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $200
• Working capital for the first month: $45
• Initial stock: fabric: $105
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
