Back to business - Andrés's comeback in San Diego
A flower stall in San Diego needs help replacing display cabinets and a cooler after a long illness and repossession.
🇺🇸 United States2,878 views
For three years I have run a flower stall in San Diego. In January, a long illness and repossession 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 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $2,250 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $420
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $790
• Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $1,040
Thank you so much.

good luck, Andrés. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Da Nang.
you're not alone, Andrés. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
So sorry you're going through this. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Sent it to 26 people at work.
Hope things get better soon, Andrés. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Birmingham.
stay strong, Andrés. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.
