For twelve years I have run a flower stall in Grand Rapids. In July, the demolition of the market 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 12 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $2,350 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $650
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $830
• Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $870
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

sending good thoughts, Reagan. This could happen to any of us. God bless.
so sorry you're going through this. Shared this with my family. Put this on a community board in Tampa this morning. Greetings from Tampa
hope the shop reopens soon. After 8 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care
