For twelve years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Nashik. 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 Monday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 12 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:
• Initial stock: spare parts: $85
• Shop repairs and licensing: $65
• Working capital for the first month: $100
Thanks for being kind about this.
