Help Ifeoma restart a flower stall in Ibadan after a break-in
Ifeoma lost display cabinets and a cooler to a break-in and needs $150 to reopen a flower stall and support the family.

For six years I have run a flower stall in Ibadan. 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 Saturday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 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 $150 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $45
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $65
• Shop repairs and licensing: $40
I hope life is good to you.

Best of luck, Ifeoma. I hope things turn around soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Barranquilla.
