You're not alone. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Rohini this morning. Greetings from Rohini.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Olumide!
Replacing three industrial sewing machines is $420 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Happy to explain more.
Wishing you peace, Olumide. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up.
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Onitsha
Thank you. If you're in Onitsha I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Happy to explain more.
Wishing you peace, Olumide. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Onitsha
Thanks for sharing this, Olumide. Hope you make a strong comeback. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Ikeja
Hope you get there. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Onitsha
Thinking of you. Looking forward to the next update. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
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. Thinking of Onitsha.
Best of luck, Olumide. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Love from Coventry!
Wishing you the best, Olumide. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Take care
sending good thoughts, Olumide. Hope the shop reopens soon. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Onitsha
