For twelve years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Cleveland. 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 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 $2,900 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $560
• Working capital for the first month: $450
• Replacing a commercial oven: $1,890
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

praying for you. Shared this with my family. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Looking forward to the next update. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best
