Help Cláudio restart a bicycle repair shop in Uberlândia after a storm that collapsed the roof
A bicycle repair shop in Uberlândia needs help replacing a full set of tools after a storm that collapsed the roof.
🇧🇷 Uberlândia, Minas Gerais, Brazil1,660 views
For three years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Uberlândia. In June, a storm that collapsed the roof 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 5 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 $1,000 goes:
• Replacing a full set of tools: $520
• Initial stock: spare parts: $175
• Shop repairs and licensing: $115
• Working capital for the first month: $190
Thank you for reading my story.
