Pedro needs a commercial oven to reopen a neighborhood bakery
A neighborhood bakery in A Coruña needs help replacing a commercial oven after a fire in the building.
Anywhere in the world965 views
For four years I have run a neighborhood bakery in A Coruña. In December, a fire in the building took a commercial oven. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Friday, and I employed 3 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $3,150 goes:
• Replacing a commercial oven: $2,150
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $400
• Shop repairs and licensing: $170
• Working capital for the first month: $430
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Hope it all works out. Small businesses are the heart of A Coruña. Hope you're open again soon. My neighbor in Tallahassee donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
Hope things get better soon, Pedro. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Quezon City
A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Galicia. I'll ask around and let you know!
Good luck. Small businesses are the heart of A Coruña. Hope you're open again soon. Love from Coventry
