Back to business - Danuta's comeback in Kraków
Danuta has run a neighborhood bakery for fifteen years; a break-in destroyed the equipment, and $1,750 will put it back on its feet.
🇵🇱 Kraków, Lesser Poland, Poland1,695 views
For fifteen years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Kraków. In May, a break-in took a commercial oven. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Saturday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 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 $1,750 goes:
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $110
• Replacing a commercial oven: $1,400
• Shop repairs and licensing: $240
With deep gratitude,
Danuta

this could happen to any of us. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
Wishing you the best, Danuta. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Bogor.
How is Danuta doing now?
Rooting for you, Danuta. Hope this works out for you. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Danuta?
Thank you. If you're in Kraków I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. I'll keep the page updated.
Thinking of you and your family. This could happen to any of us. Love from Lille.
Is initial stock: flour, butter and sugar the biggest cost or is there more coming?
Sure. The biggest one is initial stock: flour, butter and sugar, $110. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks, that means a lot.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Kraków.
wishing you peace. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double!
sending love, Danuta. Hope you get there
So sorry you're going through this. Hope the shop reopens soon.
Hang in there. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Kraków.
A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Lesser Poland. I'll ask around and let you know.
Hope it all works out. Hope the shop reopens soon. God bless.
it takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Kraków
Stay strong. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Blessings.
