Kalyani needs a full set of tools to reopen a bicycle repair shop
Kalyani lost a full set of tools to a break-in and needs $400 to reopen a bicycle repair shop and support the family.

For three years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Gaya. In August, 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 Monday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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 $400 goes:
• Replacing a full set of tools: $160
• Initial stock: spare parts: $80
• Shop repairs and licensing: $40
• Working capital for the first month: $120
Thanks for reading all this.

Take care, Kalyani. Hope the shop reopens soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
hope things get better soon, Kalyani. I hope things turn around soon. Blessings
Good luck, Kalyani. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
