For three years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Manila. In June, 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 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 7 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 $550 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $105
• Working capital for the first month: $110
• Replacing a full set of tools: $335
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Rooting for you, Maricel. Hope this works out for you. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
