Help Juliana restart a bicycle repair shop in Santarém after the demolition of the market
Juliana lost a full set of tools to the demolition of the market and needs $750 to reopen a bicycle repair shop and support the family.

For four years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Santarém. In June, the demolition of the market 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 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $750 goes:
• Replacing a full set of tools: $360
• Initial stock: spare parts: $105
• Shop repairs and licensing: $80
• Working capital for the first month: $205
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
Updates from Juliana
Update from Santarém: I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts. We're at 44% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Alicante but we're thinking of you
Hope you get there. Thinking of Santarém!
Wishing you the best, Juliana. Shared it with a few friends. My husband and I read this together. Take care.
Take care, Juliana. Hope you get there. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.
Stay strong. Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Jimma donated after I showed her your page!
