Afshan needs display cabinets and a cooler to reopen a flower stall
A flower stall in Gujranwala needs help replacing display cabinets and a cooler after a fire in the building.
🇵🇰 Gujranwala, Punjab, Pakistan759 views
For six years I have run a flower stall in Gujranwala. In October, a fire in the building took display cabinets and a cooler. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Tuesday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 3 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: $30
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $55
• Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $215
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Anaheim.
it takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Varanasi.
Rooting for you, Afshan. Hope the shop reopens soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
