Ximena needs a commercial oven to reopen a neighborhood bakery
A neighborhood bakery in Derry needs help replacing a commercial oven after the demolition of the market.

For fifteen years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Derry. In October, 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 Wednesday, and I employed 2 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 $2,800 goes:
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $850
• Shop repairs and licensing: $330
• Replacing a commercial oven: $1,620
Thanks for being kind about this.
