Back to business - Julieta's comeback in Irapuato
Julieta has run a bicycle repair shop for three years; the demolition of the market destroyed the equipment, and $1,350 will put it back on its feet.
🇲🇽 Irapuato, Guanajuato, Mexico1,217 views
For three years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Irapuato. In July, 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 Thursday, 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $1,350 goes:
• Replacing a full set of tools: $1,000
• Initial stock: spare parts: $140
• Shop repairs and licensing: $105
• Working capital for the first month: $105
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Hang in there. Shared it with a few friends. Sent it to 30 people at work.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Irapuato.
how is Julieta doing now?
You're not alone, Julieta. Hope the shop reopens soon.
Wishing you peace, Julieta. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'll check back for the next update
So sorry you're going through this, Julieta. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
Stay strong, Julieta. Shared it with a few friends. It's not much but it's yours.
