Help Florence restart a flower stall in Nice after a break-in
Florence has run a flower stall for fifteen years; a break-in destroyed the equipment, and $2,750 will put it back on its feet.

For fifteen years I have run a flower stall in Nice. In February, a break-in 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 3 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 $2,750 goes:
• Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $1,250
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $630
• Shop repairs and licensing: $520
• Working capital for the first month: $350
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Nice.
Thank you. If you're in Nice I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.
praying for you, Florence. Small businesses are the heart of Nice. Hope you're open again soon. Sent it to 38 people at work. Take care.
Hang in there. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Berlin this morning. Take care.
Hope it all works out, Florence. Hope this works out for you. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Los Angeles
