Help Smit restart a flower stall in Aurangabad after floodwater
Smit has run a flower stall for four years; floodwater destroyed the equipment, and $700 will put it back on its feet.

For four years I have run a flower stall in Aurangabad. In November, 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 Saturday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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 $700 goes:
• Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $440
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $150
• Shop repairs and licensing: $60
• Working capital for the first month: $50
Thank you so much.
