Help Rhea restart a neighborhood bakery in Manila after a break-in
Rhea lost a commercial oven to a break-in and needs $450 to reopen a neighborhood bakery and support the family.

For three years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Manila. In May, a break-in took a commercial oven. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Saturday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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:
• Replacing a commercial oven: $170
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $70
• Shop repairs and licensing: $120
• Working capital for the first month: $90
Thanks for being kind about this.

I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Wish I lived closer to Üsküdar so I could bring a meal. Take care
Wishing you peace, Rhea. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. God bless.
Hope it all works out, Rhea. Shared this with my family. Love from Pune.
