Léa needs a full set of tools to reopen a bicycle repair shop
A bicycle repair shop in Reims needs help replacing a full set of tools after the demolition of the market.
🇫🇷 France472 views
For nine years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Reims. In July, 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 2 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 $2,000 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $430
• Working capital for the first month: $390
• Replacing a full set of tools: $1,180
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Good luck, Léa. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Reims!
Thinking of you, Léa. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Reims
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out
