For six years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Nha Trang. In August, 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 Tuesday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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 $300 goes: • Shop repairs and licensing: $35 • Working capital for the first month: $40 • Replacing a commercial oven: $225 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
