A neighborhood bakery in Pune needs help replacing a commercial oven after a long illness and repossession.

For nine years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Pune. In August, a long illness and repossession took a commercial oven. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Saturday, and I employed 3 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 $800 goes:
• Replacing a commercial oven: $470
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $120
• Shop repairs and licensing: $90
• Working capital for the first month: $120
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Mumbai
Wishing you peace. Shared this with my family. My neighbor in London donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
Wishing you peace, Priyanka. Small businesses are the heart of Pune. Hope you're open again soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Pune.
Sending good thoughts. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Pune.
