Kiran needs a full set of tools to reopen a bicycle repair shop
Kiran has run a bicycle repair shop for nine years; the demolition of the market destroyed the equipment, and $300 will put it back on its feet.

For nine years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Sukkur. In June, 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 Thursday, and I employed 1 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:
• Working capital for the first month: $80
• Initial stock: spare parts: $75
• Replacing a full set of tools: $145
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Sending strength, Kiran. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
Sending strength, Kiran. I hope things turn around soon.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Kiran.
Working capital for the first month is $80 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for asking.
You're not alone. Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Sukkur.
So sorry you're going through this. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
Hope this works out for you. After 16 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
hang in there. Hope the shop reopens soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Sukkur.
