Adriana needs a commercial oven to reopen a neighborhood bakery

Adriana has run a neighborhood bakery for nine years; a fire in the building destroyed the equipment, and $2,450 will put it back on its feet.

For nine years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Vigo. In May, a fire in the building took a commercial oven. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Saturday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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 $2,450 goes: • Shop repairs and licensing: $125 • Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $450 • Replacing a commercial oven: $1,875 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
