Start-up fund for Saif: reopening a flower stall after the demolition of the market
A flower stall in Cox's Bazar needs help replacing display cabinets and a cooler after the demolition of the market.
🇧🇩 Cox's Bazar, Chattogram, Bangladesh513 views
For fifteen years I have run a flower stall in Cox's Bazar. In June, the demolition of the market took display cabinets and a cooler. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Sunday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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 $250 goes:
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $40
• Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $180
• Shop repairs and licensing: $30
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Saif!
Initial stock: seasonal flowers is $40 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Let me know if you want more detail.
Stay strong. Your post was clear and honest. We're a small family in Glendale but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Cox's Bazar.
Rooting for you, Saif. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Cox's Bazar
Take care, Saif. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
Hope the shop reopens soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings
keep going, Saif. This could happen to any of us. Blessings.
