Back to business - Woo-jin's comeback in Incheon
Woo-jin has run a neighborhood bakery for six years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $1,800 will put it back on its feet.

For six years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Incheon. 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 Thursday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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 $1,800 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $250
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $250
• Replacing a commercial oven: $1,300
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Updates from Woo-jin
Update from Incheon: I made the first payment toward replacing a commercial oven. We're at 2% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

thinking of you, Woo-jin. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Liverpool so I could bring a meal
So sorry you're going through this, Woo-jin. Small businesses are the heart of Incheon. Hope you're open again soon. God bless.
Sending good thoughts, Woo-jin. Hope you get there. Thinking of Incheon.
Good luck, Woo-jin. Hope you get there. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.
