Help Kanokwan restart a neighborhood bakery in Bangkok after a break-in
Kanokwan has run a neighborhood bakery for three years; a break-in destroyed the equipment, and $700 will put it back on its feet.

For three years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Bangkok. 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 Saturday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 12 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 $700 goes:
• Replacing a commercial oven: $450
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $80
• Shop repairs and licensing: $55
• Working capital for the first month: $115
I hope life is good to you.
- Kanokwan

rooting for you, Kanokwan. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Springfield.
wishing you peace. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
