Suren needs display cabinets and a cooler to reopen a flower stall
Suren has run a flower stall for six years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $600 will put it back on its feet.

For six years I have run a flower stall in Ekurhuleni. In October, 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 Saturday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 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 $600 goes:
• Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $290
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $120
• Shop repairs and licensing: $75
• Working capital for the first month: $115
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
