Back to business - Sebastião's comeback in São Paulo
Sebastião lost a commercial oven to a break-in and needs $800 to reopen a neighborhood bakery and support the family.

For twelve years I have run a neighborhood bakery in São Paulo. In March, 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 Wednesday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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 $800 goes:
• Replacing a commercial oven: $490
• Working capital for the first month: $135
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $175
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
