Suresh needs a full set of tools to reopen a bicycle repair shop
Suresh lost a full set of tools to floodwater and needs $600 to reopen a bicycle repair shop and support the family.

For six years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Thane. In August, 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 Wednesday, 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 $600 goes:
• Replacing a full set of tools: $500
• Working capital for the first month: $50
• Shop repairs and licensing: $50
I hope life is good to you.

Sending strength, Suresh. Hope this works out for you. Take care.
Hope you make a strong comeback. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Birmingham.
Sending strength, Suresh. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Zagazig
Wishing you peace, Suresh. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Kaduna.
Hope things get better soon, Suresh. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
