Belém
For twelve years I have run a flower stall in Belém. 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 Tuesday, 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. Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go. Where the $1,100 goes: • Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $760 • Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $90 • Shop repairs and licensing: $65 • Working capital for the first month: $185 I hope life is good to you.

Updates from Leandro

  1. 10% there. I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts. Thank you.

  2. Wanted to say thank you properly. 10% funded and I made the first payment toward shop repairs and licensing.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($45 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
