Caio needs a full set of tools to reopen a bicycle repair shop
Caio has run a bicycle repair shop for twelve years; a break-in destroyed the equipment, and $800 will put it back on its feet.
🇧🇷 Minas Gerais, Brazil962 views
For twelve years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Uberlândia. In June, a break-in 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 1 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $800 goes:
• Replacing a full set of tools: $460
• Initial stock: spare parts: $160
• Shop repairs and licensing: $75
• Working capital for the first month: $105
Thank you so much.

Thinking of you, Caio. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
good luck, Caio. Hope you make a strong comeback. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Best of luck. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Rome so I could bring a meal
Take care, Caio. Hope you get there. Blessings
rooting for you, Caio. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. I hope August is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Fresno.
Hang in there, Caio. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Soweto

hope you get there. After 30 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Keep going, Caio. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 29 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Uberlândia.
Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor in Rome donated after I showed her your page
Take care, Caio. Hope the shop reopens soon.
this could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Likoni.
Praying for you, Caio. Looking forward to the next update. Take care.
