Tangier
For twelve years I have run a flower stall in Tangier. In March, the demolition of the market 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 2 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 $600 goes: • Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $280 • Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $90 • Shop repairs and licensing: $155 • Working capital for the first month: $75 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

  1. Quick update: $249 raised so far (41%). we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Receipts coming as soon as I have them. - Émilie

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($115 in total) I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely. - Émilie

        Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Émilie

        • Émilie Océane MartinOwnerAnswerID verifiedPhoto verified

          Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. replacing display cabinets and a cooler comes first ($280) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. It helps to be asked.
