Back to business - Eva's comeback in Miami
Eva has run a neighborhood bakery for fifteen years; a fire in the building destroyed the equipment, and $4,300 will put it back on its feet.

For fifteen years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Miami. 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 Saturday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 12 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 $4,300 goes:
• Replacing a commercial oven: $2,850
• Shop repairs and licensing: $770
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $680
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

You're not alone, Eva. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. God bless
Praying for you. Hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Philadelphia.
Hope you make a strong comeback. Please keep us posted. Love from Savar.
Sending strength. Shared this with my family. My neighbor in Stellenbosch donated after I showed her your page.
Hope things get better soon. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Rome.
wishing you peace. Your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Paris.
Thinking of you and your family. Hope the shop reopens soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Thanks for sharing this, Eva. Hope the shop reopens soon. All the best.
Sending good thoughts, Eva. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Take care.
Best of luck, Eva. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best
