Start-up fund for Mateo: reopening a neighborhood bakery after a storm that collapsed the roof

For six years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Iztapalapa. In November, 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 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 12 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 $950 goes: • Replacing a commercial oven: $770 • Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $105 • Shop repairs and licensing: $75 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
