For nine years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Envigado. In September, 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 Thursday, and I employed 1 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 $900 goes: • Replacing a full set of tools: $460 • Initial stock: spare parts: $125 • Shop repairs and licensing: $145 • Working capital for the first month: $170 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Liliana
