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.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Gloria.
It's all in the list in the story. replacing display cabinets and a cooler is the big one at $1,600, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. I'll keep the page updated.
Wishing you the best, Gloria. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of London.
