Brampton
For four years I have run a flower stall in Brampton. In September, a break-in 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 2 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. I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go. Where the $3,100 goes: • Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $1,750 • Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $330 • Shop repairs and licensing: $460 • Working capital for the first month: $560 Thanks for reading all this.

  • Julia DiazQuestion

    is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Annabelle

    • Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. replacing display cabinets and a cooler comes first ($1,750) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. I'll keep the page updated.

  • Hang in there, Annabelle. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.

    • Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Brampton

      • Thank you. If you're in Brampton I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Happy to explain more.

    • Rooting for you, Annabelle. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier

        Take care, Annabelle. Shared it with a few friends. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.

        • Rooting for you, Annabelle. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Mumbai so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Warsaw

          • Thinking of you, Annabelle. It takes guts to ask. Well done. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Brampton

            • Wishing you the best, Annabelle. Small businesses are the heart of Brampton. Hope you're open again soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care
