Back to business - Camila's comeback in Campinas
Camila has run a bicycle repair shop for four years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $850 will put it back on its feet.

For four years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Campinas. In May, a storm that collapsed the roof took a full set of tools. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Wednesday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 12 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 $850 goes:
• Replacing a full set of tools: $510
• Shop repairs and licensing: $180
• Initial stock: spare parts: $160
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
