Ikeja

For fifteen years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Ikeja. In March, a fire in the building took a full set of tools. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Saturday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 3 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 $500 goes: • Initial stock: spare parts: $100 • Working capital for the first month: $120 • Replacing a full set of tools: $280 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
