Back to business - Vasyl's comeback in Kyiv
Vasyl lost a full set of tools to a storm that collapsed the roof and needs $300 to reopen a bicycle repair shop and support the family.

For four years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Kyiv. In September, 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 Friday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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 $300 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $120
• Initial stock: spare parts: $65
• Shop repairs and licensing: $115
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Rooting for you. Hope you make a strong comeback. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best
Keep going. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Baton Rouge so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Santos.
