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

For four years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Gwagwalada. In April, 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 Tuesday, and I employed 2 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. Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go. Where the $450 goes: • Replacing a commercial oven: $260 • Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $50 • Shop repairs and licensing: $85 • Working capital for the first month: $55 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
