Help Sharmin restart a neighborhood bakery in Chattogram after a break-in
A neighborhood bakery in Chattogram needs help replacing a commercial oven after a break-in.

For nine years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Chattogram. In August, 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 Thursday, and I employed 1 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $400 goes:
• Replacing a commercial oven: $120
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $90
• Shop repairs and licensing: $80
• Working capital for the first month: $110
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Rooting for you, Sharmin. Hope this works out for you.
Good luck, Sharmin. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected

Thinking of you, Sharmin. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best

Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 6 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Chattogram.
