Anthony needs a commercial oven to reopen a neighborhood bakery
Anthony has run a neighborhood bakery for nine years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $1,750 will put it back on its feet.

For nine years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Mississauga. In April, a long illness and repossession took a commercial oven. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Thursday, and I employed 1 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 $1,750 goes:
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $820
• Shop repairs and licensing: $500
• Working capital for the first month: $430
I hope life is good to you.

Sending good thoughts. This could happen to any of us. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Birmingham.
Hope it all works out, Anthony. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.
Sending good thoughts. Gave what I could, wish it was more. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care
