Gloria needs display cabinets and a cooler to reopen a flower stall

Gloria has run a flower stall for four years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $2,700 will put it back on its feet.

For four years I have run a flower stall in London. In August, a storm that collapsed the roof took display cabinets and a cooler. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Tuesday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 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 $2,700 goes: • Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $1,600 • Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $550 • Shop repairs and licensing: $240 • Working capital for the first month: $310 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
