For twelve years I have run a flower stall in Leipzig. In June, 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 Thursday, and I employed 1 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 $4,300 goes:
• Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $2,800
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $530
• Shop repairs and licensing: $610
• Working capital for the first month: $360
Glad we found this place.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Leipzig.
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about replacing display cabinets and a cooler, advice is welcome too. Appreciate you taking the time.
Hope it all works out, Ida. Hope you make a strong comeback. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
Hope things get better soon, Ida. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Blessings.
