Wanted to say thank you properly. 73% funded and I made the first payment toward initial stock: flour, butter and sugar.
Small update. $983 so far, I made the first payment toward replacing a commercial oven.
20% there. the plan for working capital for the first month is now scheduled. Thank you.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Gerardo
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. replacing a commercial oven comes first ($2,050) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Ask me anything else.
Thanks for sharing this, Gerardo. Hope you make a strong comeback. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
Best of luck, Gerardo. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Blessings.
Sending strength. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Oakland.
Hope you make a strong comeback. After 10 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care
