Start-up fund for Hậu: reopening a bicycle repair shop after a fire in the building
Hậu has run a bicycle repair shop for fifteen years; a fire in the building destroyed the equipment, and $400 will put it back on its feet.

For fifteen years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Da Nang. In July, a fire in the building took a full set of tools. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Saturday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 7 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 $400 goes:
• Replacing a full set of tools: $230
• Initial stock: spare parts: $110
• Shop repairs and licensing: $60
