Novi has run a bicycle repair shop for twelve years; a fire in the building destroyed the equipment, and $650 will put it back on its feet.

For twelve years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Jakarta. In September, a fire in the building took a full set of tools. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Tuesday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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 $650 goes: • Replacing a full set of tools: $410 • Initial stock: spare parts: $100 • Shop repairs and licensing: $80 • Working capital for the first month: $60 If you're reading this, thank you.

  • Thinking of you and your family. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.
