Razvan needs a full set of tools to reopen a bicycle repair shop
Razvan has run a bicycle repair shop for nine years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $1,350 will put it back on its feet.

For nine years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Cluj-Napoca. In July, a storm that collapsed the roof took a full set of tools. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Sunday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 12 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 $1,350 goes:
• Replacing a full set of tools: $850
• Initial stock: spare parts: $190
• Shop repairs and licensing: $120
• Working capital for the first month: $190
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Take care, Razvan. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
How is Razvan doing now?
Thinking of you, Razvan. Shared this with my family. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Razvan?
Thank you. If you're in Cluj-Napoca I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Ask me anything else.
rooting for you. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up
good luck, Razvan. Hope you get there. All the best
Praying for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Louisville so I could bring a meal. Take care.
thanks for sharing this. Shared it with a few friends. My husband and I read this together. God bless.
