Help Patrick restart a neighborhood bakery in Columbus after floodwater
Patrick has run a neighborhood bakery for twelve years; floodwater destroyed the equipment, and $5,250 will put it back on its feet.
Updates from Patrick
Update from Columbus: the plan for replacing a commercial oven is now scheduled. We're at 75% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($3,436 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Quick update: $1,336 raised so far (25%). we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

Sending strength, Patrick. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Columbus
stay strong, Patrick. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Love from Gujranwala.
Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Prayagraj so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Miami.
Wishing you the best, Patrick. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Chicago.
