Back to business - Tayyaba's comeback in Sukkur
Tayyaba has run a bicycle repair shop for twelve years; the demolition of the market destroyed the equipment, and $200 will put it back on its feet.

For twelve years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Sukkur. In November, the demolition of the market 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 $200 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $60
• Initial stock: spare parts: $115
• Shop repairs and licensing: $25
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Sukkur
Thank you. If you're in Sukkur I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks, that means a lot.
So sorry you're going through this, Tayyaba. Hope the shop reopens soon. Greetings from Quezon City
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Tayyaba
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. working capital for the first month is the biggest at $60. Good question.
Hope things get better soon, Tayyaba. Small businesses are the heart of Sukkur. Hope you're open again soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Jakarta
Hope things get better soon, Tayyaba. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. All the best.
Hang in there. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Please keep us posted. All the best.
Hope it all works out, Tayyaba. Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Stay strong, Tayyaba. Shared this with my family. Love from Dortmund
I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Don't give up.
Thinking of you, Tayyaba. Looking forward to the next update.
Take care, Tayyaba. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Sukkur.
Best of luck, Tayyaba. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
