For four years I have run a flower stall in Lafayette. In October, a break-in took display cabinets and a cooler. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Sunday, and I employed 2 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 $3,800 goes:
• Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $2,400
• Working capital for the first month: $880
• Shop repairs and licensing: $520
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Your post was clear and honest. After 20 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
