A bicycle repair shop in Ibadan needs help replacing a full set of tools after a fire in the building.

For three years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Ibadan. In November, 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 Wednesday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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 $300 goes:
• Replacing a full set of tools: $155
• Working capital for the first month: $70
• Shop repairs and licensing: $75
Glad we found this place.
