Back to business - Adalynn's comeback in Fort Worth

Adalynn has run a flower stall for six years; the demolition of the market destroyed the equipment, and $4,450 will put it back on its feet.

Fort Worth
For six years I have run a flower stall in Fort Worth. 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 Saturday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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 $4,450 goes: • Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $2,450 • Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $740 • Shop repairs and licensing: $580 • Working capital for the first month: $680 Thanks for being kind about this. - Adalynn
