Ajay needs display cabinets and a cooler to reopen a flower stall
A flower stall in Vancouver needs help replacing display cabinets and a cooler after the demolition of the market.

For three years I have run a flower stall in Vancouver. In June, the demolition of the market took display cabinets and a cooler. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Wednesday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 7 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 $3,000 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $330
• Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $1,950
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $720
Thank you so much.

Thinking of you, Ajay. Your post was clear and honest. All the best
You're not alone. Shared it with a few friends. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Vancouver.
Stay strong, Ajay. Hope this works out for you. Don't give up
