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. - 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.
