Wunmi needs display cabinets and a cooler to reopen a flower stall
Wunmi has run a flower stall for fifteen years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $300 will put it back on its feet.

For fifteen years I have run a flower stall in Onitsha. In November, 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 Wednesday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 7 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 $300 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $50
• Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $140
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $110
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
