Back to business - Abril's comeback in Madrid
A neighborhood bakery in Madrid needs help replacing a commercial oven after a long illness and repossession.

For fifteen years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Madrid. In June, 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 Friday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 7 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 $900 goes:
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $310
• Shop repairs and licensing: $155
• Working capital for the first month: $435
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
