Madhuri has run a neighborhood bakery for four years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $650 will put it back on its feet.

For four years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Dwarka. In June, a storm that collapsed the roof took a commercial oven. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Sunday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 3 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 $650 goes:
• Replacing a commercial oven: $390
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $95
• Shop repairs and licensing: $60
• Working capital for the first month: $105
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
