Start-up fund for Kelechi: reopening a neighborhood bakery after floodwater
Kelechi lost a commercial oven to floodwater and needs $450 to reopen a neighborhood bakery and support the family.

For nine years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Onitsha. In April, floodwater 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 5 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 $450 goes:
• Replacing a commercial oven: $260
• Shop repairs and licensing: $70
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $120
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

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. Take care
