Wellington needs a commercial oven to reopen a neighborhood bakery
Wellington lost a commercial oven to the demolition of the market and needs $1,250 to reopen a neighborhood bakery and support the family.

For six years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Uberlândia. In July, the demolition of the market took a commercial oven. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Monday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 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 $1,250 goes:
• Replacing a commercial oven: $710
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $240
• Shop repairs and licensing: $100
• Working capital for the first month: $200
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Hope you make a strong comeback. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Uberlândia
Take care. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Kharkiv.
Small businesses are the heart of Uberlândia. Hope you're open again soon. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Uberlândia.

So sorry you're going through this. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Uberlândia.
