Saint Petersburg
For twelve years I have run a flower stall in Saint Petersburg. In August, 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 Wednesday, 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. I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go. Where the $1,200 goes: • Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $730 • Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $190 • Shop repairs and licensing: $200 • Working capital for the first month: $80 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
