Abhishek lost a commercial oven to floodwater and needs $2,950 to reopen a neighborhood bakery and support the family.
🇬🇧 Manchester, England, United Kingdom681 views
For three years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Manchester. In April, floodwater took a commercial oven. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Friday, 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 $2,950 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $220
• Replacing a commercial oven: $2,200
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $530
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Sending strength, Abhishek. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
