Arlington
For six years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Arlington. In August, 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 12 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 $3,050 goes: • Replacing a commercial oven: $1,950 • Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $430 • Shop repairs and licensing: $350 • Working capital for the first month: $320 Thank you for reading my story.

    Best of luck, Hải. Shared it with a few friends. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless

      hope things get better soon, Hải. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.

      • Esther Wanjiru Rashidi

        Keep going, Hải. Hope you make a strong comeback. Thinking of Arlington

          So sorry you're going through this, Hải. Hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Ikeja

          • Fernando A. Orozco

            Sending love. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
