Start-up fund for Cem: reopening a flower stall after the demolition of the market
Cem lost display cabinets and a cooler to the demolition of the market and needs $1,000 to reopen a flower stall and support the family.
Updates from Cem
Good news. Because of your gifts ($570 in total) I made the first payment toward working capital for the first month. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Update from Istanbul: the first invoice got paid this week. We're at 57% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us. - Cem

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Cem?
Rooting for you, Cem. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. I hope July is when things finally get easier. God bless
Rooting for you, Cem. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Lagos!
I hope things turn around soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Istanbul.
Rooting for you, Cem. This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Praying for you. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from San Jose.
Thinking of you and your family. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 33 people at work. Greetings from San Diego
