For fifteen years I have run a flower stall in Juazeiro do Norte. In May, 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 Monday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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 $900 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $240
• Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $540
• Shop repairs and licensing: $120
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hope things get better soon, Rodrigo. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Bursa so I could bring a meal. God bless
Thinking of you. Looking forward to the next update. Don't give up. Blessings.
Sending good thoughts, Rodrigo. Your post was clear and honest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless
Sending good thoughts. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out.
