Help Savannah restart a flower stall in London after a break-in
A flower stall in London needs help replacing display cabinets and a cooler after a break-in.
🇬🇧 London, England, United Kingdom1,650 views
For six years I have run a flower stall in London. 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 Tuesday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 12 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 $3,050 goes:
• Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $1,650
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $610
• Shop repairs and licensing: $320
• Working capital for the first month: $470
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
Updates from Savannah
Quick update: $778 raised so far (26%). the plan for shop repairs and licensing is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of London!
Best of luck, Savannah. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier
Hope you make a strong comeback. Love from Colombo.
Keep going, Savannah. Hope the shop reopens soon. Love from Kasarani.
