Brampton

For fifteen years I have run a flower stall in Brampton. In August, 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 Saturday, and I employed 1 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 $2,500 goes: • Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $490 • Shop repairs and licensing: $260 • Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $1,750 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
