Start-up fund for Faith: reopening a bicycle repair shop after a storm that collapsed the roof

A bicycle repair shop in Quezon City needs help replacing a full set of tools after a storm that collapsed the roof.

Quezon City
For four years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Quezon City. In February, 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 Friday, 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. 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: $340 • Initial stock: spare parts: $90 • Shop repairs and licensing: $90 • Working capital for the first month: $130 Every share and every dollar helps. - Faith
