Back to business - Paisley's comeback in Corpus Christi
A bicycle repair shop in Corpus Christi needs help replacing a full set of tools after a storm that collapsed the roof.

For fifteen years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Corpus Christi. In May, 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 Wednesday, and I employed 3 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $2,850 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $320
• Replacing a full set of tools: $1,800
• Initial stock: spare parts: $730

So sorry you're going through this, Paisley. Your post was clear and honest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Ottawa.
