Help Jaxon restart a flower stall in Edmonton after a fire in the building
Jaxon has run a flower stall for six years; a fire in the building destroyed the equipment, and $3,400 will put it back on its feet.

For six years I have run a flower stall in Edmonton. In July, a fire in the building took display cabinets and a cooler. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Monday, 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 $3,400 goes:
• Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $2,400
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $430
• Shop repairs and licensing: $210
• Working capital for the first month: $360
I hope life is good to you.

You're not alone, Jaxon. Hope the shop reopens soon. After 25 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Sending love, Jaxon. Shared this with my family. Put this on a community board in Boston this morning.
Shared this with my family. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Jakarta.
shared it with a few friends. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless.
Stay strong. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings
Small businesses are the heart of Edmonton. Hope you're open again soon.
Thinking of you, Jaxon. Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Edmonton.
Keep going. Shared this with my family. I hope November is when things finally get easier. God bless
Hope it all works out. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.
