Start-up fund for Teresa: reopening a flower stall after a fire in the building
A flower stall in Tijuana needs help replacing display cabinets and a cooler after a fire in the building.
🇲🇽 Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico743 views
For six years I have run a flower stall in Tijuana. In June, a fire in the building 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 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 $1,250 goes:
• Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $930
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $155
• Shop repairs and licensing: $90
• Working capital for the first month: $75
Thanks for reading all this.

Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about replacing display cabinets and a cooler, advice is welcome too.
Sending strength, Teresa. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
