For fifteen years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Port Harcourt. In November, a fire in the building took a full set of tools. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Tuesday, 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 $200 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $55
• Shop repairs and licensing: $45
• Initial stock: spare parts: $100
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Thank you all. We're at 69% now ($138). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward working capital for the first month.

good luck, Comfort. I hope things turn around soon. It's not much but it's yours.
shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Port Harcourt.
