For six years I have run a flower stall in Kilkenny. In June, floodwater took display cabinets and a cooler. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Tuesday, 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 $3,300 goes: • Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $1,950 • Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $520 • Shop repairs and licensing: $580 • Working capital for the first month: $250 Thanks for being kind about this. - Eoin
