Help Aishwarya restart a flower stall in Noida after a break-in
Aishwarya has run a flower stall for four years; a break-in destroyed the equipment, and $550 will put it back on its feet.
🇮🇳 Uttar Pradesh, India422 views
For four years I have run a flower stall in Noida. In April, a break-in 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 12 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 $550 goes:
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $95
• Working capital for the first month: $45
• Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $410
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Hang in there. Hope the shop reopens soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Ogbomosho.
Sending strength, Aishwarya. Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best
