A flower stall in Buenos Aires needs help replacing display cabinets and a cooler after floodwater.

For fifteen years I have run a flower stall in Buenos Aires. In February, floodwater took display cabinets and a cooler. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Friday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 12 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 $1,000 goes:
• Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $580
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $135
• Shop repairs and licensing: $145
• Working capital for the first month: $140
If you're reading this, thank you.

Small businesses are the heart of Buenos Aires. Hope you're open again soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
