Jimena has run a flower stall for six years; floodwater destroyed the equipment, and $850 will put it back on its feet.

For six years I have run a flower stall in Cali. In January, 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 Tuesday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 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 $850 goes:
• Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $420
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $135
• Shop repairs and licensing: $195
• Working capital for the first month: $100
If you're reading this, thank you.
