Jerusalem
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: • Replacing a commercial oven: $2,800 • Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $510 • Shop repairs and licensing: $450 • Working capital for the first month: $340 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

    • How is Adi doing now?

      • Sending good thoughts. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Pune.

              Thank you. If you're in Jerusalem I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Ask me anything else.

          • sending strength. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope April is when things finally get easier. All the best.

            • Praying for you. This could happen to any of us. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.

              • Thinking of you and your family, Adi. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
