Back to business - Rina's comeback in Nagpur
A bicycle repair shop in Nagpur needs help replacing a full set of tools after a long illness and repossession.
🇮🇳 Nagpur, Maharashtra, India1,184 views
For six years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Nagpur. In October, 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 Friday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 7 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 $650 goes:
• Replacing a full set of tools: $390
• Initial stock: spare parts: $80
• Shop repairs and licensing: $100
• Working capital for the first month: $80
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Updates from Rina
Update from Nagpur: the plan for working capital for the first month is now scheduled. We're at 13% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
