Tanvir has run a neighborhood bakery for nine years; a break-in destroyed the equipment, and $350 will put it back on its feet.

For nine years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Thiruvananthapuram. In August, 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 Wednesday, and I employed 3 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $350 goes:
• Replacing a commercial oven: $175
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $75
• Shop repairs and licensing: $70
• Working capital for the first month: $30
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

so sorry you're going through this, Tanvir. Hope you get there!
Sending love, Tanvir. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.
