Back to business - Dũng's comeback in Chandler

Dũng has run a neighborhood bakery for nine years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $3,700 will put it back on its feet.

Chandler
For nine years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Chandler. In June, 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 6 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 $3,700 goes: • Working capital for the first month: $460 • Replacing a commercial oven: $2,350 • Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $890 Thank you for reading my story.

    Hope things get better soon. Hope you get there. After 22 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Bekasi.
