Rahma needs display cabinets and a cooler to reopen a flower stall
Rahma has run a flower stall for twelve years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $650 will put it back on its feet.

For twelve years I have run a flower stall in Alexandria. In August, a long illness and repossession took display cabinets and a cooler. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Monday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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:
• Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $460
• Working capital for the first month: $85
• Shop repairs and licensing: $105
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Rahma.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. replacing display cabinets and a cooler is the biggest at $460. Thanks, that means a lot.
Wishing you the best. Your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
