Frank has run a neighborhood bakery for twelve years; a fire in the building destroyed the equipment, and $550 will put it back on its feet.

For twelve years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Accra. In September, a fire in the building 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 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $550 goes:
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $55
• Replacing a commercial oven: $400
• Working capital for the first month: $95
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Sending love. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Accra
Small businesses are the heart of Accra. Hope you're open again soon. All the best.
Stay strong. Hope you make a strong comeback. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Good luck, Frank. Hope you get there. Greetings from São Paulo.
