Ciudad de México
For six years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Ciudad de México. In December, floodwater took a full set of tools. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Wednesday, and I employed 1 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: • Initial stock: spare parts: $230 • Working capital for the first month: $250 • Shop repairs and licensing: $170 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Adrián
