Help Oleg restart a flower stall in Kyiv after a break-in
A flower stall in Kyiv needs help replacing display cabinets and a cooler after a break-in.
🇺🇦 Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine1,562 views
For three years I have run a flower stall in Kyiv. In August, a break-in 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 3 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 $450 goes:
• Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $290
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $55
• Working capital for the first month: $105
Thanks for reading all this.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Kyiv.
Rooting for you. Hope you get there. My neighbor in Zapopan donated after I showed her your page.
