Help Zubby restart a bicycle repair shop in Awka after floodwater
Zubby has run a bicycle repair shop for fifteen years; floodwater destroyed the equipment, and $300 will put it back on its feet.
🇳🇬 Awka, Anambra, Nigeria424 views
For fifteen years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Awka. In March, 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 Monday, 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $300 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $75
• Initial stock: spare parts: $70
• Replacing a full set of tools: $155
Every share and every dollar helps.

Good luck. Hope the shop reopens soon. Greetings from Enugu.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Awka
keep going, Zubby. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Mbale so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Awka.
Take care, Zubby. Looking forward to the next update. Don't give up. Take care.
