Lukas needs display cabinets and a cooler to reopen a flower stall
Lukas has run a flower stall for nine years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $2,800 will put it back on its feet.

For nine years I have run a flower stall in Berlin. 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 Wednesday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 3 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 $2,800 goes:
• Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $1,800
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $290
• Shop repairs and licensing: $240
• Working capital for the first month: $470
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

hope it all works out. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Blessings.
praying for you. Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Tehuacán.

Sending strength. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Zapopan.
take care, Lukas. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. All the best.
Good luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 37 people at work. All the best
