For three years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Malang. In September, 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 Monday, and I employed 1 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 $600 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $50
• Replacing a commercial oven: $500
• Shop repairs and licensing: $50
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Haris.
You're not alone, Haris. Small businesses are the heart of Malang. Hope you're open again soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Los Angeles
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Malang
Thank you. If you're in Malang I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Let me know if you want more detail.
Thinking of you and your family, Haris. This could happen to any of us. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.
So sorry you're going through this, Haris. Hope you make a strong comeback. Wish I lived closer to Çankaya so I could bring a meal
Wishing you the best. Your post was clear and honest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Malang.
