Help Aarav restart a bicycle repair shop in Warangal after floodwater
Aarav has run a bicycle repair shop for four years; floodwater destroyed the equipment, and $500 will put it back on its feet.

For four years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Warangal. In February, 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 Sunday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 3 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 $500 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $110
• Shop repairs and licensing: $45
• Replacing a full set of tools: $345
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
