Back to business - Pedro's comeback in La Plata

Pedro has run a bicycle repair shop for twelve years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $1,000 will put it back on its feet.

La Plata
For twelve years I have run a bicycle repair shop in La Plata. In February, 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 Wednesday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 3 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 $1,000 goes: • Replacing a full set of tools: $590 • Initial stock: spare parts: $165 • Shop repairs and licensing: $160 • Working capital for the first month: $85 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
