A bicycle repair shop in Ribeirão Preto 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 Ribeirão Preto. 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 6 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:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $135
• Replacing a full set of tools: $400
• Working capital for the first month: $215
With deep gratitude,
Manuela
