Orla needs a commercial oven to reopen a neighborhood bakery
Orla has run a neighborhood bakery for twelve years; floodwater destroyed the equipment, and $2,750 will put it back on its feet.

For twelve years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Dublin. In July, floodwater 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 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 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 $2,750 goes:
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $570
• Replacing a commercial oven: $1,450
• Working capital for the first month: $730
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
