Achieng has run a flower stall for four years; the demolition of the market destroyed the equipment, and $500 will put it back on its feet.

For four years I have run a flower stall in Mukono. In December, the demolition of the market took display cabinets and a cooler. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Friday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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 $500 goes:
• Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $430
• Shop repairs and licensing: $35
• Working capital for the first month: $35
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

rooting for you, Achieng. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Chiang Mai donated after I showed her your page.
