Ziyech shares fundraiser for burnt-down flower stall: 20,000 euros raised already

A crowdfunding effort has raised over 20,000 euros for a flower shop in Amsterdam destroyed by a fire caused by a short circuit. Former Ajax player Hakim Ziyech helped promote the campaign, which aims to cover the 80,000 euro cost of replacing the uninsured business.

A crowdfunding campaign has raised over 20,000 euros for Mandy's flower stall located on the Amstelveenseweg in Amsterdam, which was severely damaged by a fire on Monday night. The fire, reportedly caused by a short circuit, left the business uninsured for the damages, making a complete replacement of the stall necessary. The owner, Kim, estimates that approximately 80,000 euros will be required to fully recover from the incident.

The community has rallied behind the shop, providing significant emotional support that has motivated the owner to plan for a quick return. The cause gained additional visibility when former Ajax player Hakim Ziyech, a regular customer, shared the campaign on his Instagram account. Other contributions include a notable 5,000 euro donation from an anonymous source and 750 euros from influencer Monica Geuze. Despite the emotional and financial blow, local residents have expressed their sympathy, highlighting the stall's importance to the neighborhood.
