For three years I have run a flower stall in Jaffna. In July, a storm that collapsed the roof took display cabinets and a cooler. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Tuesday, and I employed 1 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $350 goes:
• Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $210
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $50
• Shop repairs and licensing: $40
• Working capital for the first month: $50
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
