Faisalabad
For four years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Faisalabad. In July, 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 Thursday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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 $350 goes: • Replacing a commercial oven: $190 • Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $80 • Shop repairs and licensing: $25 • Working capital for the first month: $55 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Mehwish
