Start-up fund for Iwona: reopening a bicycle repair shop after a long illness and repossession
Iwona lost a full set of tools to a long illness and repossession and needs $1,100 to reopen a bicycle repair shop and support the family.
🇵🇱 Wrocław, Lower Silesia, Poland882 views
For four years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Wrocław. In August, 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 Friday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 12 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 $1,100 goes:
• Replacing a full set of tools: $800
• Shop repairs and licensing: $90
• Initial stock: spare parts: $210
With deep gratitude,
Iwona
