Garfield needs display cabinets and a cooler to reopen a flower stall
A flower stall in Half-Way Tree needs help replacing display cabinets and a cooler after a fire in the building.

For four years I have run a flower stall in Half-Way Tree. In August, a fire in the building 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 12 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 $800 goes:
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $220
• Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $410
• Working capital for the first month: $170
Thank you for reading my story.

Praying for you. Small businesses are the heart of Half-Way Tree. Hope you're open again soon.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Hubballi.
keep going. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Stuttgart this morning. All the best
good luck, Garfield. Shared it with a few friends. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Coventry.
Take care. Small businesses are the heart of Half-Way Tree. Hope you're open again soon.
