Mehwish needs a full set of tools to reopen a bicycle repair shop
Mehwish has run a bicycle repair shop for nine years; the demolition of the market destroyed the equipment, and $300 will put it back on its feet.
🇵🇰 Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan809 views
For nine years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Lahore. In June, 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 Saturday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $300 goes:
• Initial stock: spare parts: $85
• Replacing a full set of tools: $180
• Shop repairs and licensing: $35
If you're reading this, thank you.
