Flutter - Top align text in Container

Try giving your Row a CrossAxisAlignment of CrossAxisAlignment.start. Is this what you had in mind?

 body: new Card(
    child: new Column(
      mainAxisSize: MainAxisSize.min,
      children: <Widget>[
        new Container(
          padding: new EdgeInsets.only(top: 16.0),
          child: new Row(
            crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.start,
            mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
            children: <Widget>[
              new Text(
                '\$  ',
                style: new TextStyle(
                  fontSize: 20.0,
                  fontFamily: 'Roboto',
                  color: new Color(0xFF26C6DA),
                )
              ),
              new Text(
                '3,435.23',
                style: new TextStyle(
                  fontSize: 35.0,
                  fontFamily: 'Roboto',
                  color: new Color(0xFF26C6DA)
                ),
              )
            ],
          ),
        ),
        new Text('general balance'),
      ],
    ),
  ),

To align RIGHT

Column(
crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.stretch,
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.end,
children: <Widget>[
Container()
],)
