Back to business - Shahana's comeback in Narayanganj
Shahana has run a bicycle repair shop for four years; floodwater destroyed the equipment, and $500 will put it back on its feet.

For four years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Narayanganj. In August, floodwater 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 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 $500 goes:
• Replacing a full set of tools: $250
• Initial stock: spare parts: $95
• Shop repairs and licensing: $75
• Working capital for the first month: $80
Every share and every dollar helps.

Rooting for you, Shahana. Hope the shop reopens soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Mwanza.
