Letícia needs a commercial oven to reopen a neighborhood bakery
Letícia lost a commercial oven to a break-in and needs $1,350 to reopen a neighborhood bakery and support the family.
🇧🇷 Salvador, Bahia, Brazil1,724 views
For twelve years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Salvador. In December, a break-in took a commercial oven. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Sunday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 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 $1,350 goes:
• Replacing a commercial oven: $840
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $90
• Shop repairs and licensing: $220
• Working capital for the first month: $200
I hope life is good to you.
