Nashik
For four years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Nashik. In August, 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 Thursday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 7 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 $500 goes: • Replacing a commercial oven: $370 • Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $65 • Working capital for the first month: $65 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Krishna

Updates from Krishna

  1. Thank you all. We're at 43% now ($215). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for initial stock: flour, butter and sugar is now scheduled.

  2. Update from Nashik: I made the first payment toward replacing a commercial oven. We're at 9% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

      Wishing you the best, Krishna. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care

        rooting for you, Krishna. Looking forward to the next update. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
