For six years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Corpus Christi. In July, a break-in took a commercial oven. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Thursday, and I employed 2 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $4,350 goes:
• Replacing a commercial oven: $2,900
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $610
• Shop repairs and licensing: $540
• Working capital for the first month: $300
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
- Julian
