Help Caio restart a bicycle repair shop in Belém after a fire in the building
Caio lost a full set of tools to a fire in the building and needs $400 to reopen a bicycle repair shop and support the family.
🇧🇷 Pará, Brazil614 views
For six years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Belém. In July, a fire in the building took a full set of tools. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Tuesday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 10 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 $400 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $80
• Shop repairs and licensing: $175
• Initial stock: spare parts: $145
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Hope the shop reopens soon. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you!
Take care, Caio. Shared it with a few friends.
Take care, Caio. Hope the shop reopens soon. Wish I lived closer to Pune so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
rooting for you, Caio. This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Nashik.
Praying for you, Caio. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Belém.
