Help Marie restart a neighborhood bakery in Nuremberg after a fire in the building
Marie has run a neighborhood bakery for fifteen years; a fire in the building destroyed the equipment, and $1,350 will put it back on its feet.
🇩🇪 Nuremberg, Bavaria, Germany2,253 views
For fifteen years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Nuremberg. In February, 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 Thursday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 3 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 $1,350 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $320
• Working capital for the first month: $660
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $370
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

stay strong, Marie. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless
You're not alone. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
Stay strong. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Mandaue
Small businesses are the heart of Nuremberg. Hope you're open again soon. Put this on a community board in Fort Worth this morning. Thinking of Nuremberg
Sending strength, Marie. This could happen to any of us. After 29 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Pune.
I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in San Francisco this morning.
Hang in there, Marie. Shared it with a few friends. God bless.
Hope it all works out. Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care!
Hope it all works out, Marie. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care
