Help Antônia restart a bicycle repair shop in Olinda after floodwater
A bicycle repair shop in Olinda needs help replacing a full set of tools after floodwater.
🇧🇷 Olinda, Pernambuco, Brazil1,309 views
For nine years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Olinda. In August, 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 Wednesday, and I employed 3 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 $1,050 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $70
• Working capital for the first month: $220
• Replacing a full set of tools: $760
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
