Back to business - Harper's comeback in San Diego
Harper has run a neighborhood bakery for three years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $2,850 will put it back on its feet.

For three years I have run a neighborhood bakery in San Diego. In July, a storm that collapsed the roof 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 $2,850 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $400
• Replacing a commercial oven: $1,600
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $850
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Hope you get there. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Wudil.
Take care. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of San Diego
Sending strength. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Salem
I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care.
Keep going, Harper. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Thinking of San Diego.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 12 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Multan.
