Marrakesh
For four years I have run a flower stall in Marrakesh. In August, 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 Saturday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 3 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 $700 goes: • Working capital for the first month: $60 • Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $590 • Shop repairs and licensing: $50 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Dina

          Sending good thoughts. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Mombasa.
