Back to business - Wayne's comeback in Leicester
Wayne lost a commercial oven to a fire in the building and needs $3,400 to reopen a neighborhood bakery and support the family.

For four years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Leicester. In January, a fire in the building 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 8 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 $3,400 goes:
• Replacing a commercial oven: $2,250
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $450
• Shop repairs and licensing: $350
• Working capital for the first month: $350
Thanks for being kind about this.

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Noida.
rooting for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
