Back to business - Juliet's comeback in Kaduna
Juliet has run a neighborhood bakery for six years; a break-in destroyed the equipment, and $300 will put it back on its feet.

For six years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Kaduna. In April, 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 Saturday, and I employed 3 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $300 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $115
• Shop repairs and licensing: $80
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $105
Thank you so much.

Thanks for sharing this, Juliet. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
