Uchenna needs a gas stove and two refrigerators to reopen a street-food cart
Uchenna lost a gas stove and two refrigerators to a fire in the building and needs $350 to reopen a street-food cart and support the family.
🇳🇬 Lagos, Nigeria1,414 views
For twelve years I have run a street-food cart in Badagry. In August, a fire in the building took a gas stove and two refrigerators. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Saturday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 3 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:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $65
• Working capital for the first month: $40
• Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $245
With deep gratitude,
Uchenna
