Help Savannah restart a bicycle repair shop in Hialeah after the demolition of the market
A bicycle repair shop in Hialeah needs help replacing a full set of tools after the demolition of the market.
🇺🇸 Florida, United States2,095 views
For nine years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Hialeah. In November, the demolition of the market took a full set of tools. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Saturday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 7 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 $3,450 goes:
• Replacing a full set of tools: $2,000
• Initial stock: spare parts: $900
• Shop repairs and licensing: $220
• Working capital for the first month: $330
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Wishing you peace. Hope you make a strong comeback. My neighbor in Ikeja donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Hialeah
Hope it all works out. Shared it with a few friends. I hope February is when things finally get easier. Blessings.
Hope things get better soon, Savannah. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
