Back to business - Mulyadi's comeback in Semarang
Mulyadi has run a bicycle repair shop for nine years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $550 will put it back on its feet.

For nine years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Semarang. In April, 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 Sunday, 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $550 goes:
• Replacing a full set of tools: $310
• Initial stock: spare parts: $70
• Shop repairs and licensing: $100
• Working capital for the first month: $70
Thank you so much.

Thinking of you and your family, Mulyadi. Hope you make a strong comeback. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
sending good thoughts, Mulyadi. Looking forward to the next update. We're a small family in Manila but we're thinking of you. All the best.
