Peyton lost a commercial oven to the demolition of the market and needs $1,500 to reopen a neighborhood bakery and support the family.

For three years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Laredo. 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 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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 $1,500 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $500
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $550
• Working capital for the first month: $450
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
