Back to business - Márcio's comeback in Maringá
A flower stall in Maringá needs help replacing display cabinets and a cooler after a fire in the building.
🇧🇷 Maringá, Paraná, Brazil409 views
For fifteen years I have run a flower stall in Maringá. In March, a fire in the building 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 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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 $1,400 goes:
• Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $910
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $240
• Shop repairs and licensing: $110
• Working capital for the first month: $140
If you're reading this, thank you.

Hang in there. I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 33 people at work.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Márcio.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. replacing display cabinets and a cooler is the biggest at $910. It helps to be asked.
Rooting for you. Looking forward to the next update. Sent it to 33 people at work. Blessings
Good luck, Márcio. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Bogor.
so sorry you're going through this, Márcio. Your post was clear and honest. We're a small family in Allentown but we're thinking of you.
