For fifteen years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Stuttgart. 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 Thursday, 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $3,050 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $210
• Replacing a full set of tools: $2,200
• Initial stock: spare parts: $640
Thank you for reading my story.
