Help Noreen restart a neighborhood bakery in Rawalpindi after a fire in the building
Noreen has run a neighborhood bakery for fifteen years; a fire in the building destroyed the equipment, and $300 will put it back on its feet.
🇵🇰 Rawalpindi, Punjab, Pakistan393 views
For fifteen years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Rawalpindi. In July, 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 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 7 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 $300 goes:
• Replacing a commercial oven: $200
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $40
• Shop repairs and licensing: $30
• Working capital for the first month: $30
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Good luck, Noreen. Hope the shop reopens soon. Wish I lived closer to San Jose so I could bring a meal.
