Back to business - Savannah's comeback in Brooklyn

A flower stall in Brooklyn needs help replacing display cabinets and a cooler after the demolition of the market.

Brooklyn
For six years I have run a flower stall in Brooklyn. In July, the demolition of the market 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 1 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. Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go. Where the $4,700 goes: • Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $2,950 • Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $650 • Shop repairs and licensing: $590 • Working capital for the first month: $510 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Savannah

      Small businesses are the heart of Brooklyn. Hope you're open again soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry!
