Help Vy restart a bicycle repair shop in Hải Phòng after a break-in

Vy has run a bicycle repair shop for four years; a break-in destroyed the equipment, and $600 will put it back on its feet.

Hải Phòng
For four years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Hải Phòng. In December, 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 Friday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 3 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 $600 goes: • Replacing a full set of tools: $330 • Initial stock: spare parts: $125 • Shop repairs and licensing: $35 • Working capital for the first month: $110 If you're reading this, thank you. - Vy

Updates from Vy

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($525 in total) the plan for working capital for the first month is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Quick update: $425 raised so far (71%). the first invoice got paid this week. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  3. Small update. $140 so far, the plan for working capital for the first month is now scheduled.
