Back to business - Kunal's comeback in Aurangabad
A neighborhood bakery in Aurangabad needs help replacing a commercial oven after a fire in the building.
🇮🇳 India1,657 views
For twelve years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Aurangabad. In July, a fire in the building 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 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 7 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 $600 goes:
• Replacing a commercial oven: $410
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $65
• Shop repairs and licensing: $70
• Working capital for the first month: $55
With deep gratitude,
Kunal

Sending strength, Kunal. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Belo Horizonte so I could bring a meal.
Thinking of you. Looking forward to the next update. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from São Paulo.
