A neighborhood bakery in Los Angeles needs help replacing a commercial oven after floodwater.

Los Angeles
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. - Cameron

      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.

            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.
