A neighborhood bakery in Mumbai needs help replacing a commercial oven after a storm that collapsed the roof.

For three years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Mumbai. In June, a storm that collapsed the roof 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 5 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 $300 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $65
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $105
• Shop repairs and licensing: $130
Thanks for reading all this.
