Is working capital for the first month the biggest cost or is there more coming?
Working capital for the first month is $125 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks, that means a lot.
Keep going. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 37 people at work. All the best.
a colleague of mine might know someone for this in Gauteng. I'll ask around and let you know
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Johannesburg
Thank you. If you're in Johannesburg I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for looking so closely.
Rooting for you, Vusi. Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Sending good thoughts, Vusi. Small businesses are the heart of Johannesburg. Hope you're open again soon. Take care.
Hope you get there. God bless
Hang in there. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Chattogram so I could bring a meal.
