Walter needs a full set of tools to reopen a bicycle repair shop
A bicycle repair shop in Perth needs help replacing a full set of tools after the demolition of the market.
🇦🇺 Perth, Western Australia, Australia1,531 views
For three years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Perth. In October, the demolition of the market 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 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 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 $3,350 goes:
• Replacing a full set of tools: $2,100
• Initial stock: spare parts: $480
• Working capital for the first month: $770
With deep gratitude,
Walter

praying for you, Walter. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Wishing you the best, Walter. Hope you get there. My neighbor in Ribeirão Preto donated after I showed her your page.
Sending strength. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best
Take care. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best
thinking of you and your family, Walter. This could happen to any of us. Blessings.
rooting for you, Walter. Hope the shop reopens soon.
good luck. Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Rawalpindi.
Thinking of you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Londrina
Sending strength, Walter. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Odesa
Sending strength. Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Wrocław.
