Help Beau restart a flower stall in Denver after a long illness and repossession
Beau has run a flower stall for nine years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $3,100 will put it back on its feet.

For nine years I have run a flower stall in Denver. In November, a long illness and repossession 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 3 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $3,100 goes:
• Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $1,800
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $770
• Shop repairs and licensing: $240
• Working capital for the first month: $290
Every share and every dollar helps.

sending strength. Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Mecca but we're thinking of you. Love from Mecca.
Good luck, Beau. Shared this with my family. Don't give up. All the best
Keep going. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Jodhpur.
your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Dhaka.
