Start-up fund for Leo: reopening a flower stall after a long illness and repossession
Leo lost display cabinets and a cooler to a long illness and repossession and needs $750 to reopen a flower stall and support the family.

For six years I have run a flower stall in Makati. In September, 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 Friday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 3 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 $750 goes:
• Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $530
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $70
• Shop repairs and licensing: $105
• Working capital for the first month: $45
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Sending good thoughts, Leo. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
Wishing you peace. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Bornova
You're not alone, Leo. Looking forward to the next update. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
wishing you the best. Hope you get there. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best.
sending strength, Leo. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Makati.
