Start-up fund for Andrea: reopening a flower stall after a long illness and repossession

For nine years I have run a flower stall in Bogotá. In July, a long illness and repossession 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 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 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 $850 goes: • Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $155 • Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $540 • Working capital for the first month: $155 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
