Back to business - Ian's comeback in Kansas City
Ian has run a neighborhood bakery for fifteen years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $1,700 will put it back on its feet.

For fifteen years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Kansas City. In June, 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 Wednesday, and I employed 3 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $1,700 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $260
• Working capital for the first month: $500
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $940
Glad we found this place.

praying for you, Ian. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Philadelphia this morning
