An has run a neighborhood bakery for six years; a fire in the building destroyed the equipment, and $750 will put it back on its feet.

For six years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Hanoi. In September, 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 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 $750 goes:
• Replacing a commercial oven: $430
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $140
• Shop repairs and licensing: $105
• Working capital for the first month: $75

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for An.
Hope it all works out. Hope the shop reopens soon. All the best.
Take care. Hope the shop reopens soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Lagos
Thinking of you and your family, An. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Campinas this morning. God bless.
Take care, An. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless
Wishing you peace, An. I hope things turn around soon. I'll check back for the next update. God bless.
Take care, An. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Zapopan so I could bring a meal.
