Help Oky restart a flower stall in Jakarta Barat after floodwater
Oky lost display cabinets and a cooler to floodwater and needs $400 to reopen a flower stall and support the family.
🇮🇩 DKI Jakarta, Indonesia1,257 views
For nine years I have run a flower stall in Jakarta Barat. In October, 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 Sunday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 12 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 $400 goes:
• Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $190
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $115
• Shop repairs and licensing: $60
• Working capital for the first month: $35
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
