Back to business - Aarón's comeback in Bilbao
A bicycle repair shop in Bilbao needs help replacing a full set of tools after floodwater.
🇪🇸 Spain3,631 views
For fifteen years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Bilbao. In August, floodwater 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 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $2,850 goes:
• Replacing a full set of tools: $1,250
• Initial stock: spare parts: $530
• Shop repairs and licensing: $510
• Working capital for the first month: $560
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Sending love, Aarón. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't give up. Greetings from Melbourne
thanks for sharing this. Hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
Sending strength. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Khulna so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Durban!
Wishing you the best, Aarón. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Epe but we're thinking of you. Blessings.
Keep going, Aarón. Hope this works out for you
