Help Zaid restart a neighborhood bakery in Knoxville after a storm that collapsed the roof

Zaid has run a neighborhood bakery for four years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $2,200 will put it back on its feet.

For four years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Knoxville. In May, 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 3 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 $2,200 goes: • Working capital for the first month: $730 • Shop repairs and licensing: $710 • Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $760 Thank you so much.
