Campaign Story

Help Me Through a Difficult Season and Rebuild My Livelihood

My name is Deborah, and I am a fashion designer in Nigeria. I started my small fashion business with the hope of becoming financially independent and building something sustainable for myself. Like many small business owners, I have been working with very limited resources, but I have continued to hold on to my dream.

I am creating this fundraiser because I am currently going through a very difficult financial period, and I need help getting through it.

At the moment, I am struggling to meet some basic needs, including food and healthcare expenses. I also have medical expenses of my own, while my brother has ongoing medication costs that I am trying to help with. The financial pressure has become difficult to manage, especially while trying to keep my small business running.

I am also hoping to use part of the funds to purchase the materials I need to make clothes that I can sell, improve my business visibility, and reach more customers. My goal is not simply to receive help and remain dependent on others. I want to use this difficult moment as an opportunity to rebuild my income and become more self-sufficient.

The funds raised will be used responsibly toward:

• Food and essential daily needs
• My healthcare and medical expenses
• My brother’s medication and healthcare needs
• Fabric and other materials needed for my fashion business
• Basic business and marketing expenses to help me reach customers and generate sales

I know there are many people facing their own challenges, so I do not take anyone’s support for granted. Whether you are able to donate, purchase something from my business, or simply share my fundraiser with someone who may be able to help, it would mean so much to me.

Every contribution, regardless of the amount, will help me get through this period and move closer to being able to support myself and my family through my work.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story, and thank you to everyone who chooses to support, share, or encourage me. May your kindness return to you in ways you never expected.

With gratitude,
Deborah
