For twelve years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Jerusalem. In January, floodwater took a commercial oven. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Tuesday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 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 $4,100 goes: โ€ข Replacing a commercial oven: $2,800 โ€ข Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $510 โ€ข Shop repairs and licensing: $450 โ€ข Working capital for the first month: $340 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
