Back to business - Supriya's comeback in Indore
A neighborhood bakery in Indore needs help replacing a commercial oven after a storm that collapsed the roof.
🇮🇳 Indore, Madhya Pradesh, India1,656 views
For nine years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Indore. In August, a storm that collapsed the roof 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 10 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 $650 goes:
• Replacing a commercial oven: $390
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $105
• Shop repairs and licensing: $80
• Working capital for the first month: $75

Wishing you peace, Supriya. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care!
Sending love, Supriya. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Indore
Small businesses are the heart of Indore. Hope you're open again soon. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Indore.
