Start-up fund for Nadine: reopening a flower stall after a long illness and repossession
Nadine has run a flower stall for fifteen years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $3,100 will put it back on its feet.

For fifteen years I have run a flower stall in Regensburg. In June, a long illness and repossession 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 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $3,100 goes:
• Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $2,250
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $270
• Shop repairs and licensing: $165
• Working capital for the first month: $415
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Take care, Nadine. Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
