Help Delilah restart a flower stall in Oakland after a long illness and repossession
Delilah has run a flower stall for twelve years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $4,050 will put it back on its feet.

For twelve years I have run a flower stall in Oakland. 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 Saturday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 7 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 $4,050 goes:
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $600
• Working capital for the first month: $460
• Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $2,990
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Delilah?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about initial stock: seasonal flowers, advice is welcome too. I'll keep the page updated.
Sending love, Delilah. Shared this with my family. My husband and I read this together
Wishing you peace. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'll check back for the next update. Take care
Shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.
So sorry you're going through this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Please keep us posted. Blessings
Thinking of you and your family. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out.
