A bicycle repair shop in Udaipur needs help replacing a full set of tools after floodwater.

For three years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Udaipur. In January, floodwater took a full set of tools. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Thursday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 12 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 $500 goes:
• Replacing a full set of tools: $190
• Initial stock: spare parts: $110
• Shop repairs and licensing: $80
• Working capital for the first month: $120
Thanks for reading all this.

hope this works out for you. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings.
Take care, Usha. Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Envigado but we're thinking of you.
