Back to business - Lilian's comeback in Gwagwalada
Lilian lost display cabinets and a cooler to floodwater and needs $600 to reopen a flower stall and support the family.

For nine years I have run a flower stall in Gwagwalada. In August, 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 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 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:
• Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $430
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $65
• Shop repairs and licensing: $50
• Working capital for the first month: $55
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Keep going, Lilian. Small businesses are the heart of Gwagwalada. Hope you're open again soon. Sent it to 25 people at work.
Keep going, Lilian. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Gwagwalada
Hope the shop reopens soon. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Lahore.
