For four years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Shubra. In June, a break-in 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 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 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 $450 goes:
• Replacing a full set of tools: $145
• Initial stock: spare parts: $125
• Shop repairs and licensing: $50
• Working capital for the first month: $130
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
