Back to business - Nuria's comeback in Ciudad de México
Nuria lost a full set of tools to a storm that collapsed the roof and needs $350 to reopen a bicycle repair shop and support the family.

For fifteen years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Ciudad de México. In July, a storm that collapsed the roof 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 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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 $350 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $60
• Working capital for the first month: $145
• Initial stock: spare parts: $145
With deep gratitude,
Nuria

Keep going, Nuria. Hope you get there. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Wishing you peace, Nuria. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Ciudad de México.
Best of luck, Nuria. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Setagaya.
Sending love. Small businesses are the heart of Ciudad de México. Hope you're open again soon. I hope September is when things finally get easier.
