Ryan needs a commercial oven to reopen a neighborhood bakery
Ryan has run a neighborhood bakery for nine years; the demolition of the market destroyed the equipment, and $2,850 will put it back on its feet.

For nine years I have run a neighborhood bakery in San Diego. In April, the demolition of the market 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 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 3 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 $2,850 goes:
• Replacing a commercial oven: $1,350
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $750
• Shop repairs and licensing: $260
• Working capital for the first month: $490
If you're reading this, thank you.

It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Dhaka this morning. God bless.
Wishing you peace. Looking forward to the next update. Please keep us posted. Love from Medan.
You're not alone, Ryan. Hope you make a strong comeback. Wish I lived closer to Tangier so I could bring a meal
Keep going, Ryan. Hope this works out for you. Sent it to 28 people at work. Greetings from Nagpur.
Small businesses are the heart of San Diego. Hope you're open again soon. Don't give up. Greetings from Albany.
