Start-up fund for Pedro: reopening a flower stall after floodwater
Pedro lost display cabinets and a cooler to floodwater and needs $750 to reopen a flower stall and support the family.
🇵🇭 Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines651 views
For twelve years I have run a flower stall in Quezon City. In August, 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 Sunday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $750 goes:
• Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $360
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $150
• Shop repairs and licensing: $115
• Working capital for the first month: $125
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Hope things get better soon, Pedro. Small businesses are the heart of Quezon City. Hope you're open again soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless
