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

For four years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Aurangabad. In July, 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 Tuesday, and I employed 2 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 $500 goes:
• Replacing a commercial oven: $290
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $105
• Shop repairs and licensing: $55
• Working capital for the first month: $50
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Best of luck, Mim. Small businesses are the heart of Aurangabad. Hope you're open again soon. My neighbor in Quezon City donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
Rooting for you, Mim. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care
Take care, Mim. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best.
Hope you make a strong comeback. Put this on a community board in Adama this morning.
you're not alone. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. I hope September is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Bloemfontein
stay strong, Mim. This could happen to any of us.
Thinking of you and your family. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Aurangabad.
You're not alone, Mim. Looking forward to the next update. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care.

Rooting for you, Mim. Shared this with my family. Love from Stuttgart
Thinking of you, Mim. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 12 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
