Rebecca needs a commercial oven to reopen a neighborhood bakery
Rebecca has run a neighborhood bakery for four years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $3,100 will put it back on its feet.

For four years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Cardiff. In March, 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 Thursday, and I employed 2 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $3,100 goes:
• Replacing a commercial oven: $2,000
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $340
• Shop repairs and licensing: $195
• Working capital for the first month: $565
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

how is Rebecca doing now?
Hope it all works out, Rebecca. I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in Caxias do Sul donated after I showed her your page
Sending love, Rebecca. I hope things turn around soon!
Thanks for sharing this. Hope the shop reopens soon.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Rebecca
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. replacing a commercial oven comes first ($2,000) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks for asking.
wishing you the best, Rebecca. This could happen to any of us. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Chiang Mai.
Hang in there, Rebecca. Your post was clear and honest. All the best.
You're not alone, Rebecca. Looking forward to the next update. My husband and I read this together. Blessings
Rooting for you, Rebecca. I hope things turn around soon
