Help Mariana restart a neighborhood bakery in Campinas after a storm that collapsed the roof
A neighborhood bakery in Campinas needs help replacing a commercial oven after a storm that collapsed the roof.
🇧🇷 Campinas, São Paulo, Brazil968 views
For fifteen years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Campinas. In March, 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 Monday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 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 $400 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $140
• Working capital for the first month: $120
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $140
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Thinking of you, Mariana. Small businesses are the heart of Campinas. Hope you're open again soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Salvador.
good luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Jessore.
