For nine years I have run a flower stall in Adama. In July, the demolition of the market 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 8 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 $350 goes:
• Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $290
• Shop repairs and licensing: $50
• Working capital for the first month: $10
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Zewditu?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about replacing display cabinets and a cooler, advice is welcome too. Fair thing to want to know.
wishing you the best. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Take care.
You're not alone, Zewditu. Hope you get there. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
how is Zewditu doing now?
good luck. Hope the shop reopens soon.
Take care, Zewditu. Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Thinking of you and your family. Small businesses are the heart of Adama. Hope you're open again soon. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Rooting for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 26 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Hope things get better soon, Zewditu. Shared it with a few friends. Blessings
hope things get better soon. Small businesses are the heart of Adama. Hope you're open again soon.
hang in there. Small businesses are the heart of Adama. Hope you're open again soon.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 27 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Ciudad de México.
Sending love. Shared this with my family. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
