Back to business - Jannat's comeback in Mumbai
Jannat has run a bicycle repair shop for four years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $250 will put it back on its feet.

For four years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Mumbai. 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 Monday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 7 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 $250 goes:
• Initial stock: spare parts: $100
• Working capital for the first month: $50
• Shop repairs and licensing: $100
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Hope it all works out. Your post was clear and honest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Mumbai
I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings
So sorry you're going through this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
