Help Agnès restart a flower stall in Paris after the demolition of the market

Agnès has run a flower stall for four years; the demolition of the market destroyed the equipment, and $2,750 will put it back on its feet.

For four years I have run a flower stall in Paris. In November, the demolition of the market 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 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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 $2,750 goes: • Working capital for the first month: $480 • Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $570 • Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $1,700 Thank you so much. - Agnès

Updates from Agnès

  1. Update from Paris: the plan for working capital for the first month is now scheduled. We're at 28% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Wanted to say thank you properly. 9% funded and the plan for replacing display cabinets and a cooler is now scheduled.

    You're not alone, Agnès. Hope this works out for you. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.

        Good luck, Agnès. Gave what I could, wish it was more. God bless.

        • Ksenia Diana Orlov

          Hope it all works out. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.

          • Pankaj M. Randhawa

            Sending good thoughts. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.

            • Petro Vitaly Filippov

              Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 27 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.

                    Thinking of you, Agnès. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care

                          Shared this with my family. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.
