Start-up fund for Silke: reopening a neighborhood bakery after a break-in
Silke lost a commercial oven to a break-in and needs $2,800 to reopen a neighborhood bakery and support the family.

For twelve years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Augsburg. In July, a break-in 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 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 10 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 $2,800 goes:
• Replacing a commercial oven: $1,100
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $690
• Shop repairs and licensing: $300
• Working capital for the first month: $710

Hope the shop reopens soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best!
Hope things get better soon. Hope you make a strong comeback. I'll check back for the next update.
