Help Reem restart a bicycle repair shop in Casablanca after a break-in
Reem lost a full set of tools to a break-in and needs $550 to reopen a bicycle repair shop and support the family.
🇲🇦 Casablanca, Casablanca-Settat, Morocco541 views
For three years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Casablanca. In July, a break-in took a full set of tools. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Monday, 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 $550 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $160
• Replacing a full set of tools: $320
• Initial stock: spare parts: $70
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
Updates from Reem
Wanted to say thank you properly. 24% funded and I made the first payment toward initial stock: spare parts.
Update from Casablanca: I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts. We're at 24% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Thank you all. We're at 4% now ($20). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward replacing a full set of tools.

Rooting for you, Reem. Small businesses are the heart of Casablanca. Hope you're open again soon.
Stay strong, Reem. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Hubballi.
this could happen to any of us. Greetings from Bekasi.
