Thảo lost a commercial oven to a break-in and needs $700 to reopen a neighborhood bakery and support the family.

For twelve years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Da Nang. In April, 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 Saturday, 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $700 goes:
• Replacing a commercial oven: $460
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $115
• Shop repairs and licensing: $50
• Working capital for the first month: $75
If you're reading this, thank you.
