Pune
For nine years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Pune. In June, 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 Tuesday, and I employed 1 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 $600 goes: • Replacing a commercial oven: $350 • Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $135 • Shop repairs and licensing: $85 • Working capital for the first month: $30 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Bhavna
