Back to business - Aisling's comeback in Dublin
Aisling has run a neighborhood bakery for fifteen years; a fire in the building destroyed the equipment, and $3,400 will put it back on its feet.
🇮🇪 Dublin, Leinster, Ireland2,610 views
For fifteen years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Dublin. 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 Monday, and I employed 3 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $3,400 goes:
• Replacing a commercial oven: $1,750
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $690
• Shop repairs and licensing: $290
• Working capital for the first month: $670
With deep gratitude,
Aisling

Rooting for you, Aisling. Looking forward to the next update. Sent it to 6 people at work. Love from Shubra.
best of luck. This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
keep going, Aisling. Hope this works out for you. My husband and I read this together.
You're not alone, Aisling. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Dublin
you're not alone, Aisling. Your post was clear and honest. Please keep us posted. Greetings from Nagpur.
