I’m Tanisha Thornton, the owner of Cincy’s Floralnista, a locally owned floral and gift boutique serving the Cincinnati community. On September 5, my shop experienced an act of vandalism that damaged our storefront window and created an ongoing safety concern. Since then, the damage has continued to worsen, making it harder to safely welcome the walk-in customers who are truly the heart of my small business. For the safety of everyone, I have also had to put a stop to the events I was hosting at the shop. I have continued taking orders and doing everything I can to keep the business operating, but this unexpected situation has created a heavy financial burden and affected our day-to-day ability to serve the community.

This fundraiser will help with storefront recovery, safety improvements, lost operating income, and keeping Cincy’s Floralnista open while the damage is being resolved. Because this need is ongoing, predictable support can make a real difference as I work to cover continuing business expenses and navigate the loss of walk-in income over time. If you’re able, I would be deeply grateful for a recurring donation to help provide steady support during this period. One-time donations are also incredibly meaningful and appreciated. Several members of the community asked how they could help, and that support means more than I can express. Every donation, every order, and every share will help Cincy’s Floralnista continue blooming and serving our community. Thank you for standing with me.
