Alexandre has run a bicycle repair shop for nine years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $750 will put it back on its feet.

For nine years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Fortaleza. In July, a long illness and repossession took a full set of tools. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Tuesday, 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 $750 goes:
• Initial stock: spare parts: $180
• Replacing a full set of tools: $350
• Working capital for the first month: $220
Glad we found this place.

Thinking of you and your family, Alexandre. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
