Help Radha restart a neighborhood bakery in Mumbai after a storm that collapsed the roof
Radha lost a commercial oven to a storm that collapsed the roof and needs $700 to reopen a neighborhood bakery and support the family.

For twelve years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Mumbai. 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 Monday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 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 $700 goes:
• Replacing a commercial oven: $370
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $105
• Shop repairs and licensing: $90
• Working capital for the first month: $135
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

hope things get better soon, Radha. Shared it with a few friends
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Radha
Replacing a commercial oven is $370 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page.
Sending love, Radha. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
good luck, Radha. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Manila so I could bring a meal. Love from Limerick.
You're not alone, Radha. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Mumbai.
Thinking of you, Radha. I hope things turn around soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
