Marek needs a full set of tools to reopen a bicycle repair shop
Marek lost a full set of tools to a long illness and repossession and needs $1,600 to reopen a bicycle repair shop and support the family.
🇵🇱 Warsaw, Masovia, Poland844 views
For twelve years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Warsaw. In August, 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 Monday, and I employed 2 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 $1,600 goes:
• Replacing a full set of tools: $1,100
• Initial stock: spare parts: $250
• Shop repairs and licensing: $90
• Working capital for the first month: $160
If you're reading this, thank you.
