Cox's Bazar
For three years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Cox's Bazar. In August, a long illness and repossession took a full set of tools. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Saturday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 10 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: • Replacing a full set of tools: $200 • Initial stock: spare parts: $60 • Shop repairs and licensing: $30 • Working capital for the first month: $60 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
