Help William restart a bicycle repair shop in Södertälje after the demolition of the market
William lost a full set of tools to the demolition of the market and needs $4,150 to reopen a bicycle repair shop and support the family.
🇸🇪 Södertälje, Stockholm, Sweden2,892 views
For fifteen years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Södertälje. In April, 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 Tuesday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 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 $4,150 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $610
• Initial stock: spare parts: $550
• Replacing a full set of tools: $2,990
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

so sorry you're going through this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Please keep us posted. God bless.
I hope things turn around soon. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Södertälje.
Best of luck, William. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.
small businesses are the heart of Södertälje. Hope you're open again soon.
Wishing you peace, William. Shared it with a few friends. Love from Saint-Étienne.
Praying for you. Hope you get there. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Mumbai.
Take care, William. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
