Jun needs a commercial oven to reopen a neighborhood bakery
Jun has run a neighborhood bakery for fifteen years; the demolition of the market destroyed the equipment, and $4,450 will put it back on its feet.

For fifteen years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Sacramento. In July, 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 Wednesday, 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $4,450 goes:
• Replacing a commercial oven: $2,800
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $580
• Shop repairs and licensing: $580
• Working capital for the first month: $490
Thank you for reading my story.
