Celaya
For three years I have run a flower stall in Celaya. 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 Monday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 10 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 $1,000 goes: โ€ข Shop repairs and licensing: $220 โ€ข Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $670 โ€ข Working capital for the first month: $110 With deep gratitude, Dolores
