For fifteen years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Liverpool. In March, floodwater took a full set of tools. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Friday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 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 $2,850 goes: • Replacing a full set of tools: $2,150 • Working capital for the first month: $290 • Initial stock: spare parts: $410 Glad we found this place. - Gianna
