Start-up fund for Jayanthi: reopening a flower stall after a break-in
A flower stall in Nagpur needs help replacing display cabinets and a cooler after a break-in.
🇮🇳 Nagpur, Maharashtra, India948 views
For twelve years I have run a flower stall in Nagpur. 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 Wednesday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 10 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: $320
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $50
• Shop repairs and licensing: $40
• Working capital for the first month: $40
Thanks for being kind about this.
