Help Kajal restart a neighborhood bakery in New Delhi after a break-in
Kajal lost a commercial oven to a break-in and needs $600 to reopen a neighborhood bakery and support the family.

For three years I have run a neighborhood bakery in New Delhi. In September, 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 Monday, and I employed 1 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $600 goes:
• Replacing a commercial oven: $350
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $80
• Shop repairs and licensing: $95
• Working capital for the first month: $75
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Kajal
Replacing a commercial oven is $350 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Ask me anything else.
Rooting for you, Kajal. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
is there anything that isn't money that would help Kajal?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about replacing a commercial oven, advice is welcome too. Thanks, that means a lot.
Wishing you the best. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
how is Kajal doing now?
Wishing you the best, Kajal. Looking forward to the next update.
Hope you make a strong comeback. We're a small family in Mumbai but we're thinking of you.
Hope you make a strong comeback. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Khon Kaen.
Thinking of you and your family, Kajal. Looking forward to the next update. All the best.
Shared this with my family. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Frankfurt.
Hope things get better soon, Kajal. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Small businesses are the heart of New Delhi. Hope you're open again soon. All the best
Sending strength, Kajal. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Thiruvananthapuram this morning.
