Yasir needs display cabinets and a cooler to reopen a flower stall
Yasir has run a flower stall for three years; a fire in the building destroyed the equipment, and $1,950 will put it back on its feet.

For three years I have run a flower stall in Riyadh. In June, 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 Tuesday, 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 $1,950 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $320
• Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $1,350
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $280
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Praying for you, Yasir. Shared it with a few friends. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Wishing you the best. Hope you get there. Put this on a community board in Khon Kaen this morning.
Sending strength, Yasir. I hope things turn around soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Campinas
Take care, Yasir. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My husband and I read this together.
Good luck. Small businesses are the heart of Riyadh. Hope you're open again soon
