Help Adrián restart a bicycle repair shop in San Sebastián after a long illness and repossession
A bicycle repair shop in San Sebastián needs help replacing a full set of tools after a long illness and repossession.

For twelve years I have run a bicycle repair shop in San Sebastián. In October, a long illness and repossession took a full set of tools. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Wednesday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 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 $1,750 goes:
• Replacing a full set of tools: $810
• Initial stock: spare parts: $440
• Shop repairs and licensing: $310
• Working capital for the first month: $190
Glad we found this place.

take care. Hope the shop reopens soon. Take care.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Adrián.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. replacing a full set of tools comes first ($810) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Happy to explain more.
Good luck, Adrián. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out
Sending strength, Adrián. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings.
Hope it all works out. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't give up. Blessings.
take care, Adrián. Hope you make a strong comeback. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Hope it all works out, Adrián. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Peshawar this morning. Blessings!
Hang in there. I hope things turn around soon. Please keep us posted. God bless.
Best of luck. Shared this with my family. I'll check back for the next update!
