Start-up fund for Graciela: reopening a flower stall after a storm that collapsed the roof

For fifteen years I have run a flower stall in Santa Fe. In March, 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 Tuesday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 7 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 $400 goes: • Working capital for the first month: $105 • Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $150 • Shop repairs and licensing: $145 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Graciela
