Help Fitria restart a flower stall in Jakarta after a fire in the building
A flower stall in Jakarta needs help replacing display cabinets and a cooler after a fire in the building.
🇮🇩 Jakarta, DKI Jakarta, Indonesia2,036 views
For four years I have run a flower stall in Jakarta. In August, 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 Tuesday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 12 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 $650 goes:
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $45
• Shop repairs and licensing: $80
• Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $525
If you're reading this, thank you.

Sending love. Shared it with a few friends. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Caxias do Sul.
Your post was clear and honest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Orlando.
This could happen to any of us. After 18 years in hospitality I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Blessings.
