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

Joaquim has run a flower stall for four years; a break-in destroyed the equipment, and $500 will put it back on its feet.

For four years I have run a flower stall in São Paulo. In July, 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 Sunday, and I employed 1 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 $500 goes: • Working capital for the first month: $200 • Shop repairs and licensing: $150 • Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $150 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

    Exceptional service

    I was going through a tough time and this person's support was invaluable. They didn't judge, just helped. That kind of genuine compassion is rare these days.

    I can't speak highly enough about this helper. They were available when I needed them, supportive when I felt lost, and practical in their solutions.

    Keep going. Shared this with my family. After 12 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care
