Back to business - Elif's comeback in Augsburg
A flower stall in Augsburg needs help replacing display cabinets and a cooler after floodwater.
🇩🇪 Augsburg, Bavaria, Germany897 views
For three years I have run a flower stall in Augsburg. In August, floodwater 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 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $3,700 goes:
• Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $2,400
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $270
• Shop repairs and licensing: $520
• Working capital for the first month: $510
Thank you so much.

hang in there, Elif. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.
