Josefina needs display cabinets and a cooler to reopen a flower stall
Josefina has run a flower stall for fifteen years; the demolition of the market destroyed the equipment, and $500 will put it back on its feet.

For fifteen years I have run a flower stall in Quezon City. In August, 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 Tuesday, and I employed 3 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 $500 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $50
• Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $400
• Shop repairs and licensing: $50
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Khulna
Best of luck, Josefina. Looking forward to the next update. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings.
