Help Rohan restart a bicycle repair shop in Dwarka after a break-in
Rohan lost a full set of tools to a break-in and needs $550 to reopen a bicycle repair shop and support the family.

For fifteen years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Dwarka. In June, 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 Sunday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 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:
• Working capital for the first month: $100
• Initial stock: spare parts: $95
• Replacing a full set of tools: $355
With deep gratitude,
Rohan
