Karina needs a commercial oven to reopen a neighborhood bakery
Karina lost a commercial oven to the demolition of the market and needs $1,000 to reopen a neighborhood bakery and support the family.
🇲🇽 Veracruz, Veracruz, Mexico1,879 views
For nine years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Veracruz. 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 Tuesday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 10 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 $1,000 goes:
• Replacing a commercial oven: $590
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $185
• Shop repairs and licensing: $75
• Working capital for the first month: $150
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Sending good thoughts, Karina. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Nuremberg.
so sorry you're going through this. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Blessings.
Hope you get there. Thinking of Veracruz.
