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
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

      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.

          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
