Start-up fund for Harsh: reopening a neighborhood bakery after a break-in

Harsh has run a neighborhood bakery for six years; a break-in destroyed the equipment, and $1,350 will put it back on its feet.

For six years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Brooklyn. In February, 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 Wednesday, and I employed 1 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. I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go. Where the $1,350 goes: • Shop repairs and licensing: $400 • Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $520 • Working capital for the first month: $430 Every share and every dollar helps. - Harsh

Thank you all. We're at 8% now ($103). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts.
