A flower stall in Abuja needs help replacing display cabinets and a cooler after the demolition of the market.

For nine years I have run a flower stall in Abuja. In February, 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 Thursday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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 $400 goes:
• Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $200
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $85
• Shop repairs and licensing: $75
• Working capital for the first month: $40
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Take care, Hauwa. Hope this works out for you. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too
take care, Hauwa. 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. God bless
Thinking of you and your family, Hauwa. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Ibadan donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Ibadan.
