Howard needs display cabinets and a cooler to reopen a flower stall

For nine years I have run a flower stall in Los Angeles. In March, 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 Tuesday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 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 $1,900 goes: • Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $970 • Shop repairs and licensing: $530 • Working capital for the first month: $400 Thanks for reading all this.
