Help Rasha restart a flower stall in Alexandria after a fire in the building
Rasha lost display cabinets and a cooler to a fire in the building and needs $750 to reopen a flower stall and support the family.

For three years I have run a flower stall in Alexandria. In July, 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 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 7 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 $750 goes:
• Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $420
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $105
• Shop repairs and licensing: $105
• Working capital for the first month: $120
With deep gratitude,
Rasha

I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. After 21 years in public service I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Blessings.
sending love. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Hope things get better soon, Rasha. Hope you make a strong comeback. After 13 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
sending good thoughts. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'll check back for the next update. Blessings.
