Start-up fund for Ye-eun: reopening a flower stall after a long illness and repossession
Ye-eun has run a flower stall for twelve years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $2,000 will put it back on its feet.

For twelve years I have run a flower stall in Suwon. In April, 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 4 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 $2,000 goes:
• Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $900
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $400
• Shop repairs and licensing: $360
• Working capital for the first month: $340
If you're reading this, thank you.
