Zinhle needs display cabinets and a cooler to reopen a flower stall
Zinhle has run a flower stall for six years; a break-in destroyed the equipment, and $1,350 will put it back on its feet.

For six years I have run a flower stall in Sandton. In February, a break-in 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $1,350 goes:
• Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $800
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $155
• Shop repairs and licensing: $185
• Working capital for the first month: $210
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Thinking of you and your family, Zinhle. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Edinburgh.
