Help Brenda restart a neighborhood bakery in London after a break-in
Brenda lost a commercial oven to a break-in and needs $1,250 to reopen a neighborhood bakery and support the family.
🇬🇧 England, United Kingdom885 views
For three years I have run a neighborhood bakery in London. In September, a break-in took a commercial oven. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Monday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 7 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:
• Working capital for the first month: $580
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $320
• Shop repairs and licensing: $350
With deep gratitude,
Brenda
