For four years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Thane. 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 Thursday, 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $300 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $55
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $75
• Replacing a commercial oven: $170
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Thinking of you, Yash. Hope you make a strong comeback. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Olinda.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Kanpur.
Sending strength, Yash. Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Bonny so I could bring a meal. All the best.
Thanks for sharing this, Yash. This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Cairo this morning. Blessings.
Hope things get better soon. Small businesses are the heart of Thane. Hope you're open again soon. Greetings from Aurangabad.
Wishing you the best, Yash. Hope you make a strong comeback. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best
