Help Vandana restart a flower stall in Pune after a long illness and repossession
A flower stall in Pune needs help replacing display cabinets and a cooler after a long illness and repossession.

For six years I have run a flower stall in Pune. 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 Wednesday, and I employed 2 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $600 goes:
• Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $330
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $105
• Shop repairs and licensing: $65
• Working capital for the first month: $100
Thank you so much.
