Help Eric restart a flower stall in Ho after floodwater
Eric lost display cabinets and a cooler to floodwater and needs $350 to reopen a flower stall and support the family.
🇬🇭 Ho, Volta, Ghana1,295 views
For six years I have run a flower stall in Ho. In August, floodwater 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 3 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 $350 goes:
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $115
• Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $145
• Shop repairs and licensing: $90
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

We're at 66% thanks to 2 of you. I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts. More news soon.
