Caloocan
For fifteen years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Caloocan. In August, 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 Sunday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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 $250 goes: • Shop repairs and licensing: $110 • Initial stock: spare parts: $60 • Working capital for the first month: $80 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Francis
