Girona
For nine years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Girona. In April, the demolition of the market 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 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 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 $2,150 goes: • Replacing a commercial oven: $770 • Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $540 • Shop repairs and licensing: $380 • Working capital for the first month: $460 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

    Keep going. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 23 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care

      Wishing you the best. Hope you get there. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Salvador.

        Take care, Julieta. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.
