For six years I have run a flower stall in Orlando. In April, a storm that collapsed the roof took display cabinets and a cooler. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Thursday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 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 $2,750 goes:
• Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $970
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $620
• Shop repairs and licensing: $660
• Working capital for the first month: $500
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

sending strength, Adeline. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Praying for you, Adeline. I hope things turn around soon. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Siliguri.
Sending love, Adeline. Hope you make a strong comeback. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings
Sending love, Adeline. Hope the shop reopens soon. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
