Back to business - Guilherme's comeback in Belo Horizonte
A bicycle repair shop in Belo Horizonte needs help replacing a full set of tools after the demolition of the market.
🇧🇷 Brazil1,994 views
For three years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Belo Horizonte. In July, the demolition of the market 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 6 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 $450 goes:
• Initial stock: spare parts: $250
• Shop repairs and licensing: $140
• Working capital for the first month: $60
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Sending good thoughts. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Nairobi
Hang in there, Guilherme. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
Rooting for you, Guilherme. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Bakersfield so I could bring a meal. God bless.
