Back to business - Ji-ho's comeback in Seoul
A bicycle repair shop in Seoul needs help replacing a full set of tools after the demolition of the market.
🇰🇷 Seoul, Seoul, South Korea495 views
For four years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Seoul. In February, 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 Saturday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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 $2,250 goes:
• Replacing a full set of tools: $1,300
• Initial stock: spare parts: $390
• Shop repairs and licensing: $135
• Working capital for the first month: $425
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ji-ho.
It's all in the list in the story. replacing a full set of tools is the big one at $1,300, I'll post a receipt when it's paid.
Keep going, Ji-ho. Hope you make a strong comeback.
Hope you make a strong comeback. Love from Brasília!
