Help Aubree restart a flower stall in Southampton after a storm that collapsed the roof
Aubree has run a flower stall for nine years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $4,100 will put it back on its feet.
🇬🇧 Southampton, England, United Kingdom1,664 views
For nine years I have run a flower stall in Southampton. In April, 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 Thursday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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 $4,100 goes:
• Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $2,750
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $510
• Shop repairs and licensing: $400
• Working capital for the first month: $440
I hope life is good to you.

Wishing you peace, Aubree. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
Wishing you peace. Hope you make a strong comeback. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Southampton.
Take care, Aubree. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Thanks for sharing this, Aubree. This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Southampton.
Thinking of you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Khulna!
