Help Dolores restart a flower stall in Ciudad de México after a fire in the building
A flower stall in Ciudad de México needs help replacing display cabinets and a cooler after a fire in the building.
🇲🇽 06039, Ciudad de México, Ciudad de México, Mexico709 views
For four years I have run a flower stall in Ciudad de México. In January, a fire in the building took display cabinets and a cooler. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Wednesday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 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 $1,050 goes:
• Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $620
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $125
• Shop repairs and licensing: $200
• Working capital for the first month: $105
Thanks for reading all this.

Wishing you peace, Dolores. Small businesses are the heart of Ciudad de México. Hope you're open again soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
