Fábio needs a commercial oven to reopen a neighborhood bakery
Fábio has run a neighborhood bakery for fifteen years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $700 will put it back on its feet.

For fifteen years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Campinas. In August, 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 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $700 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $80
• Replacing a commercial oven: $440
• Working capital for the first month: $180
Thank you for reading my story.

Wishing you the best, Fábio. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
So sorry you're going through this, Fábio. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from New Orleans.
Thanks for sharing this, Fábio. Hope the shop reopens soon. All the best.
