Ezra needs a commercial oven to reopen a neighborhood bakery
Ezra has run a neighborhood bakery for twelve years; the demolition of the market destroyed the equipment, and $2,600 will put it back on its feet.

For twelve years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Macon. In December, the demolition of the market 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 1 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $2,600 goes:
• Replacing a commercial oven: $1,450
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $290
• Shop repairs and licensing: $510
• Working capital for the first month: $350
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

good luck. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
Good luck, Ezra. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out!
Keep going. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Sapporo.
Sending strength, Ezra. Shared this with my family. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Cork
Rooting for you. Hope the shop reopens soon. My husband and I read this together.
praying for you. Hope you make a strong comeback. After 27 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Bacolod.
Praying for you, Ezra. Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out
