Aberdeen
For four years I have run a flower stall in Aberdeen. In February, a long illness and repossession took display cabinets and a cooler. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Friday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 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 $2,550 goes: โ€ข Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $830 โ€ข Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $680 โ€ข Shop repairs and licensing: $640 โ€ข Working capital for the first month: $400 If you're reading this, thank you.
