Start-up fund for Dinda: reopening a bicycle repair shop after a long illness and repossession

For twelve years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Bekasi. In April, a long illness and repossession 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 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. Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go. Where the $500 goes: • Replacing a full set of tools: $240 • Initial stock: spare parts: $155 • Shop repairs and licensing: $40 • Working capital for the first month: $65 With deep gratitude, Dinda
