Hialeah
For nine years I have run a flower stall in Hialeah. In August, a storm that collapsed the roof took display cabinets and a cooler. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Thursday, and I employed 2 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. I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go. Where the $1,050 goes: • Working capital for the first month: $350 • Shop repairs and licensing: $270 • Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $430 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
