For four years I have run a flower stall in Bristol. In August, floodwater 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 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 $3,250 goes: • Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $1,150 • Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $840 • Shop repairs and licensing: $580 • Working capital for the first month: $680 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Brandon
