Kato needs display cabinets and a cooler to reopen a flower stall
Kato has run a flower stall for twelve years; a fire in the building destroyed the equipment, and $350 will put it back on its feet.

For twelve years I have run a flower stall in Kikuyu. In May, a fire in the building 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 7 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: $175
• Shop repairs and licensing: $110
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $65
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

your post was clear and honest. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
Sending strength, Kato. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless
Small businesses are the heart of Kikuyu. Hope you're open again soon. Thinking of Kikuyu.
