Help Liliana restart a neighborhood bakery in Bogotá after a long illness and repossession
Liliana lost a commercial oven to a long illness and repossession and needs $900 to reopen a neighborhood bakery and support the family.

For nine years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Bogotá. In April, 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 Wednesday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 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 $900 goes:
• Replacing a commercial oven: $440
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $200
• Shop repairs and licensing: $135
• Working capital for the first month: $125
Thanks for being kind about this.

Hope the shop reopens soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.
