Back to business - Todd's comeback in Gold Coast

Todd has run a flower stall for twelve years; a break-in destroyed the equipment, and $3,350 will put it back on its feet.

Gold Coast
For twelve years I have run a flower stall in Gold Coast. In August, a break-in 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 3 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 $3,350 goes: • Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $1,800 • Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $520 • Shop repairs and licensing: $210 • Working capital for the first month: $820 If you're reading this, thank you. - Todd

          • So sorry you're going through this. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Wish I lived closer to Ogbomosho so I could bring a meal. God bless.

            • Wishing you the best, Todd. Gave what I could, wish it was more. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Badagry
