Campinas
For nine years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Campinas. In July, 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 Tuesday, and I employed 3 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. I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go. Where the $1,300 goes: • Replacing a full set of tools: $760 • Initial stock: spare parts: $180 • Shop repairs and licensing: $195 • Working capital for the first month: $165 Thank you for reading my story.
