Back to business - Charlotte's comeback in London
Charlotte lost a commercial oven to a fire in the building and needs $1,550 to reopen a neighborhood bakery and support the family.

For fifteen years I have run a neighborhood bakery in London. In August, 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 Sunday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 3 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 $1,550 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $490
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $730
• Shop repairs and licensing: $330
Every share and every dollar helps.

Thinking of you and your family, Charlotte. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings
thinking of you and your family. Shared this with my family. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Paris.
Thinking of you and your family, Charlotte. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Praying for you, Charlotte. Hope the shop reopens soon. All the best.
Hope things get better soon. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Ciudad de México so I could bring a meal
