Daegu
For nine years I have run a flower stall in Daegu. In August, a fire in the building took display cabinets and a cooler. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Saturday, and I employed 2 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. I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go. Where the $2,200 goes: • Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $1,150 • Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $360 • Shop repairs and licensing: $450 • Working capital for the first month: $240 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Eun-ji

Updates from Eun-ji

  1. Quick update: $600 raised so far (27%). we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Small update. $760 so far, the plan for shop repairs and licensing is now scheduled.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($319 in total) the plan for working capital for the first month is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
