Start-up fund for Mohit: reopening a neighborhood bakery after the demolition of the market
A neighborhood bakery in Nashik needs help replacing a commercial oven after the demolition of the market.
🇮🇳 Nashik, Maharashtra, India904 views
For three years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Nashik. In August, the demolition of the market took a commercial oven. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Monday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 7 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 $500 goes:
• Replacing a commercial oven: $280
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $100
• Shop repairs and licensing: $80
• Working capital for the first month: $40
Every share and every dollar helps.

Keep going, Mohit. This could happen to any of us. Take care.
You're not alone, Mohit. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Regina so I could bring a meal.
Hang in there, Mohit. Gave what I could, wish it was more. God bless.
so sorry you're going through this, Mohit. This could happen to any of us. After 16 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
take care, Mohit. Hope you make a strong comeback. Love from Monterrey.
