Back to business - Courtney's comeback in Perth
Courtney lost a commercial oven to floodwater and needs $2,300 to reopen a neighborhood bakery and support the family.
🇦🇺 Western Australia, Australia2,072 views
For nine years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Perth. In September, floodwater took a commercial oven. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Friday, and I employed 3 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $2,300 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $620
• Replacing a commercial oven: $1,050
• Shop repairs and licensing: $630
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hope it all works out, Courtney. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
