Help Luis restart a neighborhood bakery in Zapopan after a fire in the building
A neighborhood bakery in Zapopan needs help replacing a commercial oven after a fire in the building.
🇲🇽 Mexico1,677 views
For three years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Zapopan. In August, a fire in the building took a commercial oven. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Sunday, and I employed 2 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $1,250 goes:
• Replacing a commercial oven: $760
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $110
• Shop repairs and licensing: $140
• Working capital for the first month: $240
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
