Help Rodrigo restart a flower stall in Ribeirão Preto after floodwater
Rodrigo has run a flower stall for nine years; floodwater destroyed the equipment, and $550 will put it back on its feet.

For nine years I have run a flower stall in Ribeirão Preto. In August, floodwater took display cabinets and a cooler. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Saturday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 3 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 $550 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $165
• Working capital for the first month: $160
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $225
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Thinking of you and your family, Rodrigo. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Arlington!
shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Arlington.
Take care. Hope the shop reopens soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Malang.
Stay strong, Rodrigo. Hope you get there. Put this on a community board in Puebla this morning. Take care.
Best of luck, Rodrigo. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
so sorry you're going through this, Rodrigo. Gave what I could, wish it was more. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Ribeirão Preto.
Good luck, Rodrigo. Looking forward to the next update. Blessings.
