Back to business - Landon's comeback in Sacramento
A neighborhood bakery in Sacramento needs help replacing a commercial oven after the demolition of the market.

For six years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Sacramento. In February, 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 Monday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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 $3,000 goes:
• Replacing a commercial oven: $1,700
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $270
• Shop repairs and licensing: $370
• Working capital for the first month: $660
Thanks for reading all this.

Best of luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in Badagry donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
Stay strong. Hope the shop reopens soon. Thinking of Sacramento.
sending good thoughts, Landon. Small businesses are the heart of Sacramento. Hope you're open again soon. Love from Kanpur.
