Start-up fund for Jürgen: reopening a neighborhood bakery after a break-in
A neighborhood bakery in Augsburg needs help replacing a commercial oven after a break-in.
Anywhere in the world414 views
For four years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Augsburg. 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 Friday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 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 $1,600 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $410
• Shop repairs and licensing: $510
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $680
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Thinking of you. Small businesses are the heart of Augsburg. Hope you're open again soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care
Thinking of you. I hope things turn around soon. I hope November is when things finally get easier.
Praying for you. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Love from Hanoi.
Thanks for sharing this, Jürgen. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.
