For six years I have run a flower stall in Newcastle upon Tyne. In June, 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 Monday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 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 $2,950 goes: • Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $1,350 • Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $620 • Shop repairs and licensing: $570 • Working capital for the first month: $410 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Eugene
