Back to business - Óscar's comeback in Coyoacán
Óscar has run a neighborhood bakery for six years; the demolition of the market destroyed the equipment, and $500 will put it back on its feet.

For six years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Coyoacán. In August, 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 Wednesday, 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $500 goes:
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $230
• Working capital for the first month: $110
• Shop repairs and licensing: $160
If you're reading this, thank you.
