Help Patrizia restart a flower stall in Bari after a break-in
A flower stall in Bari needs help replacing display cabinets and a cooler after a break-in.
🇮🇹 Italy1,342 views
For twelve years I have run a flower stall in Bari. In August, 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 Sunday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 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 $1,000 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $520
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $240
• Shop repairs and licensing: $240
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
Updates from Patrizia
Quick update: $43 raised so far (4%). the first invoice got paid this week. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Quick update: $106 raised so far (11%). the plan for initial stock: seasonal flowers is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

take care, Patrizia. Hope this works out for you. Greetings from Embakasi
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Patrizia
Wishing you the best, Patrizia. Shared this with my family. Blessings
Hang in there, Patrizia. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Södertälje
Keep going. Small businesses are the heart of Bari. Hope you're open again soon. It's not much but it's yours
Keep going. Hope you get there. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Vitória da Conquista.
