For six years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Novosibirsk. In August, 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 Tuesday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 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 $1,050 goes:
• Replacing a full set of tools: $640
• Initial stock: spare parts: $220
• Shop repairs and licensing: $135
• Working capital for the first month: $55
Thank you so much.

hang in there, Ivan. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Greetings from Los Angeles
Stay strong. I hope things turn around soon. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
Best of luck, Ivan. Small businesses are the heart of Novosibirsk. Hope you're open again soon. All the best.
