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.

Hialeah
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. - Savannah

        Hope things get better soon, Savannah. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
