Back to business - Sebastián's comeback in Iztapalapa
A neighborhood bakery in Iztapalapa needs help replacing a commercial oven after a long illness and repossession.
🇲🇽 Iztapalapa, Ciudad de México, Mexico904 views
For fifteen years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Iztapalapa. In May, a long illness and repossession 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 3 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 $750 goes:
• Replacing a commercial oven: $300
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $160
• Shop repairs and licensing: $90
• Working capital for the first month: $200
Every share and every dollar helps.
