Help Isabelle restart a flower stall in Denver after a long illness and repossession
A flower stall in Denver needs help replacing display cabinets and a cooler after a long illness and repossession.
🇺🇸 Denver, Colorado, United States2,332 views
For nine years I have run a flower stall in Denver. In February, a long illness and repossession 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 1 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 $3,250 goes:
• Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $1,250
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $720
• Shop repairs and licensing: $560
• Working capital for the first month: $720
With deep gratitude,
Isabelle

Any update on how things are going in Denver?
Best of luck, Isabelle. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Denver.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Denver
Thank you. If you're in Denver I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Appreciate you taking the time.
Thinking of you and your family, Isabelle. Small businesses are the heart of Denver. Hope you're open again soon. Sent it to 21 people at work. Thinking of Denver
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Isabelle!
Sure. The biggest one is replacing display cabinets and a cooler, $1,250. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks, that means a lot.
Hope things get better soon. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Tokyo
Rooting for you, Isabelle. Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Stockholm donated after I showed her your page. God bless
Hope it all works out, Isabelle. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Warsaw but we're thinking of you
Rooting for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My husband and I read this together. Blessings
