A bicycle repair shop in Chiang Mai needs help replacing a full set of tools after floodwater.

For nine years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Chiang Mai. In October, floodwater took a full set of tools. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Monday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 3 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 $1,000 goes:
• Replacing a full set of tools: $610
• Initial stock: spare parts: $105
• Shop repairs and licensing: $55
• Working capital for the first month: $230
I hope life is good to you.

Rooting for you. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Chiang Mai.
