Start-up fund for Erica: reopening a bicycle repair shop after a storm that collapsed the roof
Erica has run a bicycle repair shop for twelve years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $650 will put it back on its feet.

For twelve years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Bacoor. In June, 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 Tuesday, and I employed 2 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: $370
• Initial stock: spare parts: $140
• Shop repairs and licensing: $50
• Working capital for the first month: $90
Thank you so much.
