Help Balaji restart a flower stall in Mysuru after a fire in the building
A flower stall in Mysuru needs help replacing display cabinets and a cooler after a fire in the building.
🇮🇳 Mysuru, Karnataka, India1,547 views
For four years I have run a flower stall in Mysuru. In July, a fire in the building 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 $450 goes:
• Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $290
• Working capital for the first month: $75
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $85
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
Updates from Balaji
Good news. Because of your gifts ($76 in total) the plan for replacing display cabinets and a cooler is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Thinking of you and your family, Balaji. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Balaji?
sending strength. This could happen to any of us. Please keep us posted.
Hope it all works out, Balaji. I hope things turn around soon. Love from Madrid
