Back to business - Irene's comeback in Veracruz
Irene lost a commercial oven to a break-in and needs $1,050 to reopen a neighborhood bakery and support the family.
🇲🇽 Veracruz, Veracruz, Mexico801 views
For nine years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Veracruz. In May, a break-in 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 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 $1,050 goes:
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $85
• Replacing a commercial oven: $790
• Shop repairs and licensing: $175
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
