Heliopolis

For nine years I have run a flower stall in Heliopolis. In August, a long illness and repossession 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 8 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: • Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $135 • Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $125 • Shop repairs and licensing: $60 • Working capital for the first month: $80 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Rasha

Updates from Rasha

Good news. Because of your gifts ($289 in total) the plan for working capital for the first month is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Thank you all. We're at 40% now ($159). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for initial stock: seasonal flowers is now scheduled.
Update from Heliopolis: we've started the first stage. We're at 9% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Yekaterinburg.
