Daria lost display cabinets and a cooler to a break-in and needs $800 to reopen a flower stall and support the family.

For four years I have run a flower stall in Kharkiv. In March, a break-in took display cabinets and a cooler. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Saturday, 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 $800 goes:
• Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $520
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $105
• Shop repairs and licensing: $40
• Working capital for the first month: $135
I hope life is good to you.

I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Put this on a community board in Medan this morning. Take care.
Wishing you the best, Daria. Small businesses are the heart of Kharkiv. Hope you're open again soon. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
hang in there. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Kharkiv.
Hang in there, Daria. Hope you get there. It's not much but it's yours.
Hope the shop reopens soon. Sent it to 36 people at work. Thinking of Kharkiv.
