Back to business - Corazon's comeback in Manila
Corazon lost display cabinets and a cooler to a long illness and repossession and needs $600 to reopen a flower stall and support the family.
🇵🇭 Manila, Metro Manila, Philippines396 views
For three years I have run a flower stall in Manila. In July, a long illness and repossession took display cabinets and a cooler. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Sunday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 10 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 $600 goes:
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $60
• Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $490
• Working capital for the first month: $50
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

this could happen to any of us. Greetings from Cox's Bazar.
Good luck, Corazon. Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings
