Start-up fund for Reagan: reopening a neighborhood bakery after a long illness and repossession
Reagan has run a neighborhood bakery for nine years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $2,900 will put it back on its feet.

For nine years I have run a neighborhood bakery in San Jose. In May, 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 Wednesday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 12 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 $2,900 goes:
• Replacing a commercial oven: $1,300
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $630
• Shop repairs and licensing: $210
• Working capital for the first month: $760
Thank you for reading my story.

Hang in there, Reagan. Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to San Antonio so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
Stay strong, Reagan. Hope you get there. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of San Jose!
Take care. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless
