Back to business - Angelo's comeback in Lapu-Lapu
A bicycle repair shop in Lapu-Lapu needs help replacing a full set of tools after a break-in.
🇵🇭 Lapu-Lapu, Cebu, Philippines763 views
For fifteen years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Lapu-Lapu. In April, a break-in took a full set of tools. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Thursday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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 $350 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $95
• Initial stock: spare parts: $125
• Working capital for the first month: $130
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Hope things get better soon, Angelo. Hope this works out for you. After 10 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
Keep going, Angelo. Your post was clear and honest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Best of luck. Your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in Kisumu this morning. Blessings.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Angelo.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. shop repairs and licensing is the biggest at $95. I'll keep the page updated.
wishing you the best, Angelo. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Kisumu but we're thinking of you.
wishing you peace. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Thủ Đức donated after I showed her your page. All the best
Take care. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
praying for you. Hope you make a strong comeback. Put this on a community board in Gliwice this morning. Greetings from Gliwice.
Stay strong, Angelo. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 24 people at work. Take care
Keep going, Angelo. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Lapu-Lapu
Thinking of you. Hope you make a strong comeback. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
Thinking of you and your family, Angelo. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
