Help Gianna restart a flower stall in London after a storm that collapsed the roof
Gianna lost display cabinets and a cooler to a storm that collapsed the roof and needs $1,450 to reopen a flower stall and support the family.
🇬🇧 London, England, United Kingdom1,003 views
For fifteen years I have run a flower stall in London. In November, a storm that collapsed the roof took display cabinets and a cooler. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Saturday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 7 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 $1,450 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $410
• Working capital for the first month: $590
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $450
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Keep going, Gianna. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope February is when things finally get easier. Blessings
