Back to business - Esra's comeback in Gaziantep
Esra lost display cabinets and a cooler to floodwater and needs $750 to reopen a flower stall and support the family.

For four years I have run a flower stall in Gaziantep. In July, 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 2 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 $750 goes:
• Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $400
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $115
• Shop repairs and licensing: $155
• Working capital for the first month: $80
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

keep going, Esra. I hope things turn around soon
So sorry you're going through this. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Kyiv
good luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Nashik but we're thinking of you.
Take care, Esra. I hope things turn around soon. Take care.
