Taguig
For fifteen years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Taguig. In August, 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 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. Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go. Where the $800 goes: • Replacing a full set of tools: $580 • Initial stock: spare parts: $95 • Shop repairs and licensing: $95 • Working capital for the first month: $30 Thank you for reading my story.
