Back to business - Leah's comeback in El Paso
A neighborhood bakery in El Paso needs help replacing a commercial oven after a break-in.
🇺🇸 United States4,405 views
For twelve years I have run a neighborhood bakery in El Paso. In August, 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 Tuesday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 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 $1,900 goes:
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $860
• Working capital for the first month: $320
• Shop repairs and licensing: $720
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Good luck, Leah. Hope the shop reopens soon. Take care
Hang in there. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Love from Ribeirão Preto.
Rooting for you. Shared this with my family. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Leah.
Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar is $860 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks, that means a lot.
rooting for you, Leah. I hope things turn around soon. It's not much but it's yours
Hope you make a strong comeback. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best
Praying for you. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Liverpool so I could bring a meal. Thinking of El Paso.
Thinking of you and your family, Leah. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Greetings from Kilkenny.
Take care, Leah. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Take care.
