A bicycle repair shop in Novosibirsk needs help replacing a full set of tools after a storm that collapsed the roof.

For nine years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Novosibirsk. In August, 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 Friday, and I employed 1 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $700 goes:
• Replacing a full set of tools: $290
• Initial stock: spare parts: $100
• Shop repairs and licensing: $140
• Working capital for the first month: $170
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
Updates from Igor
Small update. $216 so far, the first invoice got paid this week.
Thank you all. We're at 17% now ($116). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 19% funded and the plan for shop repairs and licensing is now scheduled.
