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

For fifteen years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Jodhpur. In January, 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 Sunday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 10 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 $600 goes: • Replacing a full set of tools: $490 • Shop repairs and licensing: $75 • Working capital for the first month: $35 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
