For twelve years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Ottawa. In July, a fire in the building took a commercial oven. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Thursday, 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. Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go. Where the $3,500 goes: • Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $280 • Replacing a commercial oven: $2,600 • Working capital for the first month: $620 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
