Bangkok

For four years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Bangkok. In June, the demolition of the market took a commercial oven. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Thursday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 10 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 $1,150 goes: • Replacing a commercial oven: $730 • Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $100 • Shop repairs and licensing: $165 • Working capital for the first month: $155 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Ittipol

Updates from Ittipol

Thank you all. We're at 9% now ($99). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward working capital for the first month.
