Rina has run a neighborhood bakery for nine years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $750 will put it back on its feet.

For nine years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Bandung. In April, 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 Sunday, 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 $750 goes:
• Replacing a commercial oven: $420
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $145
• Shop repairs and licensing: $65
• Working capital for the first month: $120
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

It takes guts to ask. Well done. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Bandung
praying for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Zapopan.
I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
Rooting for you. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Bergamo
so sorry you're going through this, Rina. Hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
stay strong. Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor in Hamilton donated after I showed her your page.
Good luck, Rina. Hope the shop reopens soon. Put this on a community board in Embakasi this morning. God bless.
Wishing you the best, Rina. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes
Take care, Rina. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Lviv so I could bring a meal!
So sorry you're going through this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 32 people at work.
