Help Kagiso restart a flower stall in Paarl after a break-in
Kagiso has run a flower stall for three years; a break-in destroyed the equipment, and $1,200 will put it back on its feet.

For three years I have run a flower stall in Paarl. In July, 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 1 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 $1,200 goes:
• Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $690
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $165
• Shop repairs and licensing: $170
• Working capital for the first month: $175
Thanks for being kind about this.

Good luck. Looking forward to the next update. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Manila donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Paarl.
