Fernando needs a commercial oven to reopen a neighborhood bakery
A neighborhood bakery in Guadalajara needs help replacing a commercial oven after a fire in the building.

For four years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Guadalajara. In June, 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 Friday, and I employed 2 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 $1,250 goes:
• Replacing a commercial oven: $820
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $195
• Shop repairs and licensing: $100
• Working capital for the first month: $135
Glad we found this place.

I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Thinking of Guadalajara
Take care, Fernando. Small businesses are the heart of Guadalajara. Hope you're open again soon. Wish I lived closer to Bacolod so I could bring a meal. Love from Haarlem.
