Konstantin lost a full set of tools to the demolition of the market and needs $1,100 to reopen a bicycle repair shop and support the family.

For four years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Moscow. In August, 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 Sunday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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 $1,100 goes:
• Replacing a full set of tools: $650
• Initial stock: spare parts: $230
• Shop repairs and licensing: $125
• Working capital for the first month: $95

Sending good thoughts. Hope you make a strong comeback. We're a small family in Ottawa but we're thinking of you. God bless!
Take care, Konstantin. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Thanks for sharing this, Konstantin. This could happen to any of us. Don't give up!
Sending love. Hope you make a strong comeback. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Moscow.
wishing you peace, Konstantin. Looking forward to the next update. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings.
You're not alone, Konstantin. Hope you get there. Sent it to 22 people at work. Take care
You're not alone, Konstantin. Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Calamba so I could bring a meal. All the best
Take care. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 6 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings!
you're not alone, Konstantin. Hope this works out for you.
