Back to business - Jack's comeback in Sydney
Jack has run a bicycle repair shop for six years; floodwater destroyed the equipment, and $2,700 will put it back on its feet.

For six years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Sydney. In May, floodwater took a full set of tools. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Monday, and I employed 1 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $2,700 goes:
• Replacing a full set of tools: $1,700
• Initial stock: spare parts: $690
• Shop repairs and licensing: $310
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Hang in there. Small businesses are the heart of Sydney. Hope you're open again soon. I'll check back for the next update. God bless
It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Nagpur donated after I showed her your page
Thanks for sharing this, Jack. Hope you make a strong comeback. Love from Naivasha.
