Hamilton

For fifteen years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Hamilton. In June, 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 Friday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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 $3,000 goes: • Replacing a commercial oven: $2,150 • Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $470 • Working capital for the first month: $380 If you're reading this, thank you. - Shivam
