Paola needs display cabinets and a cooler to reopen a flower stall
Paola lost display cabinets and a cooler to a storm that collapsed the roof and needs $950 to reopen a flower stall and support the family.

For three years I have run a flower stall in Naples. In September, 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 Friday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 10 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 $950 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $330
• Working capital for the first month: $380
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $240
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
