Help Raphaël restart a flower stall in Grenoble after a fire in the building
A flower stall in Grenoble needs help replacing display cabinets and a cooler after a fire in the building.
🇫🇷 Grenoble, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France2,819 views
For fifteen years I have run a flower stall in Grenoble. In August, 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 Friday, and I employed 1 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 $2,150 goes:
• Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $950
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $510
• Shop repairs and licensing: $420
• Working capital for the first month: $270
With deep gratitude,
Raphaël

So sorry you're going through this. Hope you make a strong comeback. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings
Wishing you peace, Raphaël. Looking forward to the next update. God bless
thinking of you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Nizamabad so I could bring a meal
Rooting for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
Best of luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope December is when things finally get easier.
sending love. Hope the shop reopens soon. Greetings from Brampton.
Rooting for you, Raphaël. Hope you get there. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Newcastle.
Take care, Raphaël. This could happen to any of us
Thanks for sharing this, Raphaël. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Take care
