For twelve years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Atlanta. In November, a storm that collapsed the roof took a commercial oven. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Wednesday, and I employed 3 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 $2,900 goes: • Replacing a commercial oven: $2,150 • Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $500 • Shop repairs and licensing: $250 Every share and every dollar helps. - Daniel

  • So sorry you're going through this, Daniel. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Lagos.

    • hang in there. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Atlanta.

      • Keep going, Daniel. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Atlanta.

          Hope it all works out, Daniel. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.

          • reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope February is when things finally get easier.

              keep going. This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
