Jakarta Selatan

For twelve years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Jakarta Selatan. In June, 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 Tuesday, 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 $450 goes: • Replacing a commercial oven: $140 • Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $110 • Shop repairs and licensing: $110 • Working capital for the first month: $90 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Wawan

Thank you all. We're at 21% now ($96). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward initial stock: flour, butter and sugar.
