A bicycle repair shop in Liverpool needs help replacing a full set of tools after a fire in the building.
🇬🇧 United Kingdom1,778 views
For three years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Liverpool. In August, 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 Thursday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 10 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 $1,700 goes:
• Replacing a full set of tools: $890
• Working capital for the first month: $460
• Shop repairs and licensing: $350
Thank you for reading my story.

Wishing you peace, Daniel. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 11 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from San Miguel de Tucumán.
hope it all works out. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Liverpool.
Sending love, Daniel. Shared it with a few friends.
I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Please keep us posted!
Take care. Shared it with a few friends. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
Sending strength, Daniel. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Hang in there, Daniel. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings.
Rooting for you. Hope you get there. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Liverpool.
