Back to business - William's comeback in Los Angeles
A neighborhood bakery in Los Angeles needs help replacing a commercial oven after a break-in.
Anywhere in the world4,755 views
For fifteen years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Los Angeles. In July, 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 Friday, 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $2,600 goes:
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $710
• Working capital for the first month: $270
• Replacing a commercial oven: $1,620
Thanks for being kind about this.

Take care. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Please keep us posted. God bless.
