Help Aylin restart a neighborhood bakery in Kadıköy after floodwater
A neighborhood bakery in Kadıköy needs help replacing a commercial oven after floodwater.
🇹🇷 Türkiye1,455 views
For nine years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Kadıköy. In July, floodwater 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 12 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 $1,100 goes:
• Replacing a commercial oven: $740
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $180
• Shop repairs and licensing: $180
Glad we found this place.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Aylin
Replacing a commercial oven is $740 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Appreciate you taking the time.
Thanks for sharing this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 31 people at work. All the best.
