Start-up fund for Beth: reopening a neighborhood bakery after a break-in
Beth has run a neighborhood bakery for fifteen years; a break-in destroyed the equipment, and $4,400 will put it back on its feet.

For fifteen years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Colorado Springs. In July, a break-in 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 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 $4,400 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $630
• Replacing a commercial oven: $3,100
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $670
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
