Help Joshua restart a neighborhood bakery in Quezon City after a long illness and repossession
Joshua has run a neighborhood bakery for six years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $600 will put it back on its feet.

For six years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Quezon City. In March, a long illness and repossession 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 7 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 $600 goes:
• Replacing a commercial oven: $320
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $105
• Shop repairs and licensing: $95
• Working capital for the first month: $80
With deep gratitude,
Joshua

Hope it all works out, Joshua. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Quezon City.
Thinking of you, Joshua. Looking forward to the next update. After 12 years in farming I know how hard it is to ask for anything.
