Mukesh needs display cabinets and a cooler to reopen a flower stall
A flower stall in Mysuru needs help replacing display cabinets and a cooler after a break-in.
🇮🇳 India2,073 views
For four years I have run a flower stall in Mysuru. In August, a break-in took display cabinets and a cooler. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Saturday, and I employed 3 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.
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: $320
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $100
• Shop repairs and licensing: $85
• Working capital for the first month: $95
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

We're at 72% thanks to 13 of you. I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts. More news soon.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($219 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Quick update: $332 raised so far (55%). the first invoice got paid this week. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

So sorry you're going through this, Mukesh. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
