Start-up fund for Chiamaka: reopening a flower stall after a long illness and repossession
A flower stall in Epe needs help replacing display cabinets and a cooler after a long illness and repossession.

For three years I have run a flower stall in Epe. In February, 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 Saturday, and I employed 1 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 $450 goes:
• Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $220
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $55
• Shop repairs and licensing: $85
• Working capital for the first month: $90
Thanks for being kind about this.

Wishing you peace, Chiamaka. Small businesses are the heart of Epe. Hope you're open again soon. Wish I lived closer to Jakarta Selatan so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Chattogram.
Hope it all works out. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Ahmedabad
Hope things get better soon. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Kingston.
