Back to business - Andrea's comeback in Girona
Andrea lost display cabinets and a cooler to a break-in and needs $2,600 to reopen a flower stall and support the family.
🇪🇸 Girona, Catalonia, Spain3,856 views
For four years I have run a flower stall in Girona. In August, 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 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 $2,600 goes:
• Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $1,650
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $510
• Shop repairs and licensing: $240
• Working capital for the first month: $200
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Wishing you the best. I hope things turn around soon. Blessings!
Hope things get better soon, Andrea. Hope the shop reopens soon
hope this works out for you. Sent it to 29 people at work. Blessings
Good luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 16 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
