Lorena has run a bicycle repair shop for twelve years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $1,350 will put it back on its feet.

Madrid
For twelve years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Madrid. In October, a long illness and repossession took a full set of tools. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Friday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 10 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 $1,350 goes: • Initial stock: spare parts: $360 • Replacing a full set of tools: $760 • Shop repairs and licensing: $230 Thanks for reading all this.
