A bicycle repair shop in Birmingham needs help replacing a full set of tools after the demolition of the market.

For three years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Birmingham. 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 Friday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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 $1,850 goes:
• Replacing a full set of tools: $960
• Working capital for the first month: $560
• Shop repairs and licensing: $330
Thank you for reading my story.

Praying for you. I hope things turn around soon. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Dhaka.
Wishing you the best. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't give up. Thinking of Birmingham.

take care, Roman. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Stay strong. Hope this works out for you. My husband and I read this together. God bless.
