Bekasi
For twelve years I have run a flower stall in Bekasi. In July, floodwater took display cabinets and a cooler. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Monday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 7 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 $300 goes: โ€ข Working capital for the first month: $40 โ€ข Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $90 โ€ข Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $170 Thank you so much.

Updates from Bambang

  1. Update from Bekasi: I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts. We're at 13% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
