Help Denise restart a bicycle repair shop in Cardiff after a fire in the building
Denise lost a full set of tools to a fire in the building and needs $1,650 to reopen a bicycle repair shop and support the family.
🇬🇧 Cardiff, Wales, United Kingdom873 views
For four years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Cardiff. In May, 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 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 12 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 $1,650 goes:
• Replacing a full set of tools: $1,050
• Initial stock: spare parts: $380
• Shop repairs and licensing: $220
I hope life is good to you.

Thinking of you and your family. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. My neighbor in Nashik donated after I showed her your page. Love from Nashik.
Good luck. Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Cardiff
wishing you the best, Denise. Hope you make a strong comeback. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
