For four years I have run a flower stall in Marrakesh. In August, 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 Saturday, 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 $700 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $60
• Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $590
• Shop repairs and licensing: $50
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Wishing you peace, Dina. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Blessings.
You're not alone, Dina. Your post was clear and honest.
Rooting for you, Dina. Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Marrakesh.
Sending good thoughts. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Mombasa.
So sorry you're going through this, Dina. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Kanpur so I could bring a meal
