Back to business - Leo's comeback in El Paso
Leo has run a flower stall for fifteen years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $2,800 will put it back on its feet.

For fifteen years I have run a flower stall in El Paso. In June, a storm that collapsed the roof took display cabinets and a cooler. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Monday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 12 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 $2,800 goes:
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $380
• Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $1,600
• Working capital for the first month: $820
Thanks for being kind about this.

Sending love, Leo. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Take care.
good luck, Leo. Hope the shop reopens soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Hope it all works out, Leo. Hope this works out for you.
Hope the shop reopens soon. Love from Rabat.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 15 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Chattogram
