Back to business - Nahid's comeback in Leeds
A bicycle repair shop in Leeds needs help replacing a full set of tools after a fire in the building.
🇬🇧 England, United Kingdom871 views
For four years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Leeds. In August, a fire in the building took a full set of tools. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Friday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 12 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 $3,800 goes:
• Replacing a full set of tools: $2,750
• Initial stock: spare parts: $510
• Shop repairs and licensing: $220
• Working capital for the first month: $320
Thank you for reading my story.

Wishing you peace. Shared it with a few friends. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Rooting for you, Nahid. Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Bristol donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Bristol.
