Start-up fund for Maricel: reopening a flower stall after a storm that collapsed the roof
Maricel has run a flower stall for four years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $450 will put it back on its feet.

For four years I have run a flower stall in Quezon City. In September, a storm that collapsed the roof 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 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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: $260
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $60
• Shop repairs and licensing: $60
• Working capital for the first month: $70
Every share and every dollar helps.
