Enes needs a full set of tools to reopen a bicycle repair shop
Enes has run a bicycle repair shop for six years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $1,150 will put it back on its feet.

For six years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Kadıköy. In February, a storm that collapsed the roof 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 2 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 $1,150 goes:
• Replacing a full set of tools: $700
• Initial stock: spare parts: $230
• Shop repairs and licensing: $100
• Working capital for the first month: $120
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Kadıköy
Thinking of you and your family, Enes. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope May is when things finally get easier.
Sending good thoughts, Enes. This could happen to any of us. Take care.
