Alcalá de Henares
For four years I have run a flower stall in Alcalá de Henares. In January, a long illness and repossession took display cabinets and a cooler. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Saturday, and I employed 2 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 $1,650 goes: • Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $810 • Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $320 • Shop repairs and licensing: $220 • Working capital for the first month: $300 If you're reading this, thank you.
