Help Nathan restart a neighborhood bakery in Toulouse after a long illness and repossession
Nathan has run a neighborhood bakery for six years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $2,700 will put it back on its feet.
🇫🇷 Toulouse, Occitanie, France436 views
For six years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Toulouse. In March, 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 Sunday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 12 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 $2,700 goes:
• Replacing a commercial oven: $1,200
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $520
• Shop repairs and licensing: $410
• Working capital for the first month: $570
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
- Nathan

Sending love. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from San Francisco!
Thinking of you. Your post was clear and honest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care.
Wishing you the best. This could happen to any of us. After 14 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings
so sorry you're going through this, Nathan. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Thinking of Toulouse
stay strong, Nathan. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
