Back to business - Sunita's comeback in Colorado Springs
Sunita has run a flower stall for fifteen years; the demolition of the market destroyed the equipment, and $3,300 will put it back on its feet.

For fifteen years I have run a flower stall in Colorado Springs. 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 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $3,300 goes:
• Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $1,900
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $340
• Shop repairs and licensing: $600
• Working capital for the first month: $460
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Sending strength. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't give up. Thinking of Colorado Springs.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Sunita
It's all in the list in the story. replacing display cabinets and a cooler is the big one at $1,900, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Appreciate you taking the time.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in Caruaru this morning. Thinking of Colorado Springs.
Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Munich so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
Sending strength, Sunita. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Kumasi

keep going, Sunita. This could happen to any of us. Blessings.
Wishing you peace, Sunita. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Colorado Springs.
Keep going. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'll check back for the next update. Blessings.
Hope you make a strong comeback. Greetings from Amsterdam.
