Shai has run a flower stall for nine years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $2,200 will put it back on its feet.

For nine years I have run a flower stall in Beersheba. In February, a storm that collapsed the roof 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 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 $2,200 goes: • Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $1,050 • Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $380 • Shop repairs and licensing: $220 • Working capital for the first month: $550 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Updates from Shai

  1. Quick update: $752 raised so far (34%). I made the first payment toward shop repairs and licensing. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Update from Beersheba: the plan for replacing display cabinets and a cooler is now scheduled. We're at 17% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
