For twelve years I have run a phone repair counter in San Diego. In January, a break-in took a soldering station and testing tools. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Thursday, 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 $3,750 goes: โ€ข Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $2,850 โ€ข Initial stock: replacement parts: $290 โ€ข Shop repairs and licensing: $610 Thanks for being kind about this.
