Coyoacán
For twelve years I have run a flower stall in Coyoacán. In August, 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 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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 $550 goes: • Shop repairs and licensing: $170 • Working capital for the first month: $165 • Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $215 With deep gratitude, Víctor

    Made a real difference

    Perfect example of someone making a real difference. They took time out of their busy schedule to help me and never made me feel like a burden.

    Made me feel heard

    I was going through a tough time and this person's support was invaluable. They didn't judge, just helped. That kind of genuine compassion is rare these days.

    Couldn't have asked for better support. They listened carefully, understood my situation deeply, and provided thoughtful advice that actually worked. Thank you so much.

      Hope things get better soon, Víctor. Hope the shop reopens soon. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Coyoacán.
