Help Esteban restart a neighborhood bakery in Buenos Aires after floodwater
A neighborhood bakery in Buenos Aires needs help replacing a commercial oven after floodwater.
🇦🇷 Buenos Aires, Argentina1,043 views
For six years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Buenos Aires. In June, floodwater 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 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $550 goes:
• Replacing a commercial oven: $280
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $100
• Working capital for the first month: $170
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
