Santiago lost a commercial oven to the demolition of the market and needs $850 to reopen a neighborhood bakery and support the family.

For four years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Coatzacoalcos. In August, the demolition of the market 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 12 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 $850 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $140
• Replacing a commercial oven: $550
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $160
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Praying for you, Santiago. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.
