Nnamdi has run a neighborhood bakery for six years; floodwater destroyed the equipment, and $450 will put it back on its feet.

Bonny
For six years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Bonny. In March, floodwater 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 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. I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go. Where the $450 goes: • Working capital for the first month: $35 • Replacing a commercial oven: $350 • Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $65 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Nnamdi
