Help Larisa restart a flower stall in Iași after floodwater
Larisa has run a flower stall for three years; floodwater destroyed the equipment, and $550 will put it back on its feet.

For three years I have run a flower stall in Iași. In August, 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 Thursday, and I employed 2 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $550 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $185
• Working capital for the first month: $240
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $125
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Thinking of you, Larisa. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
