Start-up fund for Krishna: reopening a flower stall after floodwater
Krishna lost display cabinets and a cooler to floodwater and needs $550 to reopen a flower stall and support the family.
🇮🇳 Saket, Delhi, India1,597 views
For six years I have run a flower stall in Saket. In December, floodwater 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 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 $550 goes:
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $75
• Shop repairs and licensing: $85
• Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $390
Thank you for reading my story.

You're not alone. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Mississauga
Thinking of you and your family. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out
Keep going. Small businesses are the heart of Saket. Hope you're open again soon. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
Thinking of you, Krishna. Shared it with a few friends
