Help Abhishek restart a flower stall in Saket after a fire in the building

Abhishek has run a flower stall for nine years; a fire in the building destroyed the equipment, and $500 will put it back on its feet.

Saket
For nine years I have run a flower stall in Saket. 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 Thursday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 7 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 $500 goes: • Shop repairs and licensing: $55 • Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $290 • Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $155 If you're reading this, thank you.
