Back to business - Christopher's comeback in Glasgow
Christopher has run a neighborhood bakery for nine years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $2,550 will put it back on its feet.

For nine years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Glasgow. In August, 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 Sunday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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 $2,550 goes:
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $820
• Replacing a commercial oven: $1,250
• Working capital for the first month: $480
If you're reading this, thank you.

So sorry you're going through this. Small businesses are the heart of Glasgow. Hope you're open again soon. Blessings.
Keep going. Hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
