Help Galina restart a flower stall in Kharkiv after a fire in the building
Galina lost display cabinets and a cooler to a fire in the building and needs $650 to reopen a flower stall and support the family.

For nine years I have run a flower stall in Kharkiv. In March, 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 Friday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 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 $650 goes:
• Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $310
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $75
• Shop repairs and licensing: $150
• Working capital for the first month: $115
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

How is Galina doing now?
I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Love from Coyoacán.
Thinking of you, Galina. Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Galina
Sure. The biggest one is replacing display cabinets and a cooler, $310. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Let me know if you want more detail.
Hang in there. Hope this works out for you. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Mysuru.
Good luck. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
So sorry you're going through this, Galina. I hope things turn around soon. I'll check back for the next update
Wishing you peace. Shared this with my family. I hope May is when things finally get easier. Take care.
Stay strong, Galina. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Tamale but we're thinking of you. God bless.
thinking of you, Galina. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Kharkiv.
hope it all works out, Galina. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings.
