Fatima needs display cabinets and a cooler to reopen a flower stall
Fatima lost display cabinets and a cooler to floodwater and needs $150 to reopen a flower stall and support the family.

For nine years I have run a flower stall in Heliopolis. In March, 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 Friday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 7 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 $150 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $35
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $50
• Working capital for the first month: $65
Thank you so much.

Rooting for you, Fatima. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Take care
Hope things get better soon, Fatima. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
