Help Dipika restart a flower stall in Ahmedabad after a break-in
A flower stall in Ahmedabad needs help replacing display cabinets and a cooler after a break-in.

For twelve years I have run a flower stall in Ahmedabad. In August, 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 Friday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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 $700 goes:
• Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $420
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $90
• Shop repairs and licensing: $100
• Working capital for the first month: $90
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Thank you all. We're at 43% now ($300). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward shop repairs and licensing.
