Help Cameron restart a neighborhood bakery in Los Angeles after floodwater
A neighborhood bakery in Los Angeles needs help replacing a commercial oven after floodwater.
🇺🇸 United States1,814 views
For fifteen years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Los Angeles. In September, floodwater 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 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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 $3,250 goes:
• Replacing a commercial oven: $1,950
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $610
• Shop repairs and licensing: $280
• Working capital for the first month: $410
I hope life is good to you.

Keep going, Cameron. This could happen to any of us. God bless
Hope the shop reopens soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
your post was clear and honest. We're a small family in Cox's Bazar but we're thinking of you. All the best.
Wishing you the best, Cameron. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together. God bless
Hang in there. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
