Back to business - Rafaela's comeback in Juiz de Fora
Rafaela has run a bicycle repair shop for six years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $950 will put it back on its feet.

For six years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Juiz de Fora. In March, 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 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 10 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 $950 goes:
• Initial stock: spare parts: $145
• Replacing a full set of tools: $720
• Shop repairs and licensing: $85
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Good luck, Rafaela. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
