Arthur needs display cabinets and a cooler to reopen a flower stall
A flower stall in Ribeirão Preto needs help replacing display cabinets and a cooler after a break-in.
🇧🇷 Brazil3,193 views
For fifteen years I have run a flower stall in Ribeirão Preto. In November, a break-in took display cabinets and a cooler. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Friday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 3 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $1,600 goes:
• Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $1,050
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $135
• Shop repairs and licensing: $165
• Working capital for the first month: $250
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Sending strength. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Jakarta

thinking of you, Arthur. Hope you make a strong comeback. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Hialeah.
