Grace needs display cabinets and a cooler to reopen a flower stall
Grace lost display cabinets and a cooler to a storm that collapsed the roof and needs $450 to reopen a flower stall and support the family.

For four years I have run a flower stall in Lagos. In May, 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 Monday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 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 $450 goes:
• Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $230
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $90
• Shop repairs and licensing: $60
• Working capital for the first month: $70
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
