Novosibirsk
For six years I have run a flower stall in Novosibirsk. In April, the demolition of the market took display cabinets and a cooler. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Sunday, and I employed 1 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 $400 goes: • Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $200 • Shop repairs and licensing: $85 • Working capital for the first month: $115 With deep gratitude, Ksenia

  2. Thank you all. We're at 41% now ($164). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for initial stock: seasonal flowers is now scheduled.

  3. Quick update: $100 raised so far (25%). the plan for shop repairs and licensing is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
