Iztapalapa
For nine years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Iztapalapa. In February, 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 Thursday, and I employed 3 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 $1,500 goes: • Replacing a commercial oven: $980 • Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $290 • Shop repairs and licensing: $90 • Working capital for the first month: $140 Thank you for reading my story. - Ramón

        Hope things get better soon. I hope things turn around soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Feira de Santana.
