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

For three years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Thane. In June, floodwater 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 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 $400 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $115
• Working capital for the first month: $110
• Replacing a commercial oven: $175
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
