Help Filip restart a flower stall in Gdańsk after floodwater
Filip has run a flower stall for three years; floodwater destroyed the equipment, and $1,500 will put it back on its feet.
🇵🇱 Pomerania, Poland520 views
For three years I have run a flower stall in Gdańsk. In November, 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 6 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 $1,500 goes:
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $230
• Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $1,100
• Shop repairs and licensing: $170

Sending love, Filip. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
take care, Filip. Hope the shop reopens soon. Thinking of Gdańsk!
keep going. Shared this with my family. I hope February is when things finally get easier.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Filip.
Sure. The biggest one is initial stock: seasonal flowers, $230. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Happy to explain more.
Thanks for sharing this, Filip. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Toledo.
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Gdańsk.
Thank you. If you're in Gdańsk I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Fair thing to want to know.
Stay strong. This could happen to any of us. My husband and I read this together.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Patras
Stay strong, Filip. Hope you get there. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Gdańsk.
So sorry you're going through this. This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Nakuru this morning. Greetings from Nakuru.
Wishing you peace. Hope you make a strong comeback. Love from San Antonio
Hope this works out for you. We're a small family in Nuremberg but we're thinking of you. God bless.
