Help Hayato restart a neighborhood bakery in Sakai after a storm that collapsed the roof
Hayato has run a neighborhood bakery for four years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $2,800 will put it back on its feet.

For four years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Sakai. In March, 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 Friday, 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 $2,800 goes:
• Replacing a commercial oven: $1,900
• Shop repairs and licensing: $320
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $580
Glad we found this place.
