Taslima needs display cabinets and a cooler to reopen a flower stall
A flower stall in Gazipur needs help replacing display cabinets and a cooler after a break-in.
🇧🇩 Gazipur, Dhaka, Bangladesh901 views
For nine years I have run a flower stall in Gazipur. In August, a break-in 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 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 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 $300 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $90
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $70
• Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $140
Thanks for reading all this.

Thanks for sharing this, Taslima. Gave what I could, wish it was more
is there anything that isn't money that would help Taslima?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about working capital for the first month, advice is welcome too. Let me know if you want more detail.
I hope things turn around soon. Love from Ikeja.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Gazipur.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Taslima
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. working capital for the first month is the biggest at $90. Appreciate you taking the time.
Hang in there. Small businesses are the heart of Gazipur. Hope you're open again soon. Take care.
Hope it all works out, Taslima. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
hope you get there. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Kinondoni.
so sorry you're going through this, Taslima. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Blessings
Hope things get better soon, Taslima. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. All the best.
