Armando needs display cabinets and a cooler to reopen a flower stall
A flower stall in Buenos Aires needs help replacing display cabinets and a cooler after floodwater.
🇦🇷 Argentina933 views
For twelve years I have run a flower stall in Buenos Aires. In August, floodwater 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 2 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $400 goes:
• Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $280
• Working capital for the first month: $60
• Shop repairs and licensing: $60
Glad we found this place.

Keep going. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 12 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Good luck, Armando. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Üsküdar so I could bring a meal. Love from Badagry.
