Back to business - Caleb's comeback in San Antonio
Caleb has run a bicycle repair shop for fifteen years; floodwater destroyed the equipment, and $3,150 will put it back on its feet.

For fifteen years I have run a bicycle repair shop in San Antonio. In January, 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 Friday, and I employed 2 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $3,150 goes:
• Replacing a full set of tools: $1,200
• Initial stock: spare parts: $720
• Shop repairs and licensing: $520
• Working capital for the first month: $710
Thanks for being kind about this.
