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. - Lukas

      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.
