Ploy has run a bicycle repair shop for twelve years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $800 will put it back on its feet.

For twelve years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Nakhon Ratchasima. In May, 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 Tuesday, 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 $800 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $160
• Replacing a full set of tools: $450
• Initial stock: spare parts: $190
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

how is Ploy doing now?
Sending love. Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Hope it all works out, Ploy. Hope you make a strong comeback. Thinking of Nakhon Ratchasima.
