Back to business - Joshua's comeback in San Francisco
Joshua lost a commercial oven to a break-in and needs $2,400 to reopen a neighborhood bakery and support the family.
🇺🇸 San Francisco, California, United States353 views
For four years I have run a neighborhood bakery in San Francisco. In October, 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 Friday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 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 $2,400 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $390
• Replacing a commercial oven: $1,500
• Shop repairs and licensing: $510
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
