Help Verónica restart a flower stall in Málaga after floodwater

Verónica has run a flower stall for six years; floodwater destroyed the equipment, and $1,050 will put it back on its feet.

For six years I have run a flower stall in Málaga. In March, 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 Friday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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 $1,050 goes: • Working capital for the first month: $370 • Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $470 • Shop repairs and licensing: $210 Thank you so much.

Updates from Verónica

  1. Update from Málaga: the first invoice got paid this week. We're at 50% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Wanted to say thank you properly. 23% funded and the plan for shop repairs and licensing is now scheduled.

    Sending good thoughts, Verónica. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Take care

    • I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Málaga.

      • Hang in there, Verónica. Hope the shop reopens soon. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out.
