Start-up fund for Natalia: reopening a neighborhood bakery after a long illness and repossession
Natalia has run a neighborhood bakery for three years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $1,400 will put it back on its feet.

For three years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Novosibirsk. In August, a long illness and repossession 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 2 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 $1,400 goes:
• Replacing a commercial oven: $950
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $110
• Shop repairs and licensing: $120
• Working capital for the first month: $220
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
