Help Naufal restart a bicycle repair shop in Surakarta after a storm that collapsed the roof

Naufal has run a bicycle repair shop for four years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $550 will put it back on its feet.

For four years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Surakarta. In July, 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 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 10 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 $550 goes: • Replacing a full set of tools: $380 • Initial stock: spare parts: $45 • Working capital for the first month: $125 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Naufal

      Thinking of you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
