Back to business - Valentina's comeback in Birmingham
Valentina has run a flower stall for twelve years; the demolition of the market destroyed the equipment, and $1,350 will put it back on its feet.

For twelve years I have run a flower stall in Birmingham. In August, 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 5 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 $1,350 goes:
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $730
• Shop repairs and licensing: $155
• Working capital for the first month: $465
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
