Help Jayden restart a flower stall in San Francisco after a long illness and repossession

Jayden has run a flower stall for nine years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $2,800 will put it back on its feet.

For nine years I have run a flower stall in San Francisco. In September, 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 Wednesday, and I employed 2 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 $2,800 goes: • Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $1,050 • Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $750 • Shop repairs and licensing: $660 • Working capital for the first month: $340 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Jayden

Updates from Jayden

  1. Small update. $872 so far, we've started the first stage.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($570 in total) I made the first payment toward replacing display cabinets and a cooler. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

      Good luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in Savar donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of San Francisco.

      • Bryan S. Legaspi

        Hope it all works out. Small businesses are the heart of San Francisco. Hope you're open again soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
