Jiraporn needs a commercial oven to reopen a neighborhood bakery
Jiraporn lost a commercial oven to a fire in the building and needs $800 to reopen a neighborhood bakery and support the family.
🇹🇭 Bang Khen, Bangkok, Thailand2,115 views
For nine years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Bang Khen. In March, a fire in the building took a commercial oven. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Monday, and I employed 3 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $800 goes:
• Replacing a commercial oven: $380
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $200
• Shop repairs and licensing: $65
• Working capital for the first month: $155
Thanks for being kind about this.

thinking of you and your family, Jiraporn. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Don't give up. Love from Faisalabad.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Jiraporn!
It's all in the list in the story. replacing a commercial oven is the big one at $380, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Appreciate you taking the time.
Good luck, Jiraporn. Hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Praying for you, Jiraporn. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you!
