Hendrik needs display cabinets and a cooler to reopen a flower stall
A flower stall in Stellenbosch needs help replacing display cabinets and a cooler after a storm that collapsed the roof.
🇿🇦 Stellenbosch, Western Cape, South Africa475 views
For fifteen years I have run a flower stall in Stellenbosch. In August, a storm that collapsed the roof took display cabinets and a cooler. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Monday, 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 $650 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $130
• Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $420
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $100
If you're reading this, thank you.

Hope it all works out, Hendrik. Hope the shop reopens soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Stellenbosch.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Stellenbosch
