Saar needs display cabinets and a cooler to reopen a flower stall

Saar has run a flower stall for fifteen years; a fire in the building destroyed the equipment, and $3,100 will put it back on its feet.

For fifteen years I have run a flower stall in Nijmegen. 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 Saturday, and I employed 3 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 $3,100 goes: • Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $1,850 • Working capital for the first month: $660 • Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $590 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
