Camille needs a full set of tools to reopen a bicycle repair shop
Camille has run a bicycle repair shop for six years; the demolition of the market destroyed the equipment, and $800 will put it back on its feet.
🇵🇭 Lapu-Lapu, Cebu, Philippines811 views
For six years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Lapu-Lapu. In June, 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 Saturday, and I employed 1 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $800 goes:
• Replacing a full set of tools: $570
• Initial stock: spare parts: $70
• Shop repairs and licensing: $60
• Working capital for the first month: $100
Glad we found this place.

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Lapu-Lapu!
Thank you. If you're in Lapu-Lapu I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Happy to explain more.
stay strong, Camille. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Thinking of Lapu-Lapu
stay strong, Camille. Hope you get there. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Hope it all works out, Camille. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Jakarta Selatan
Hope you make a strong comeback. Don't give up. Blessings
Thinking of you and your family, Camille. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings
