Rafael has run a flower stall for six years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $450 will put it back on its feet.

For six years I have run a flower stall in Manila. In August, a long illness and repossession 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 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 10 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 $450 goes:
• Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $185
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $90
• Shop repairs and licensing: $60
• Working capital for the first month: $115

Thinking of you and your family. Hope the shop reopens soon. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings.
Hang in there, Rafael. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. All the best.
