Back to business - Mateus's comeback in Curitiba
A flower stall in Curitiba needs help replacing display cabinets and a cooler after a storm that collapsed the roof.
🇧🇷 Brazil741 views
For four years I have run a flower stall in Curitiba. In August, 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 Friday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 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 $550 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $120
• Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $340
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $90
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Curitiba
I hope things turn around soon. Don't give up. God bless
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Mateus.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. shop repairs and licensing comes first ($120) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks, that means a lot.
I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best
any update on how things are going in Curitiba?
Sending strength. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Liverpool but we're thinking of you. Take care.
Hang in there, Mateus. Your post was clear and honest.
Sending good thoughts. This could happen to any of us. Blessings
Thinking of you, Mateus. Looking forward to the next update.
Wishing you the best. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 33 people at work
You're not alone. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Nagpur
