Back to business - Hailey's comeback in Augusta
A bicycle repair shop in Augusta needs help replacing a full set of tools after a storm that collapsed the roof.

For four years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Augusta. 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 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 $2,100 goes:
• Replacing a full set of tools: $1,050
• Shop repairs and licensing: $470
• Initial stock: spare parts: $580

Best of luck, Hailey. Hope the shop reopens soon. After 29 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
Sending good thoughts. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Guarulhos
Praying for you. Hope you make a strong comeback. Love from Jakarta.
rooting for you, Hailey. Looking forward to the next update. I'll check back for the next update. Blessings.
Sending strength. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't give up. God bless.
