For twelve years I have run a phone repair counter in Detroit. In June, a fire in the building 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 Friday, and I employed 1 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. Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go. Where the $3,550 goes: • Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $2,300 • Shop repairs and licensing: $420 • Working capital for the first month: $830 With deep gratitude, Adrian

    Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Detroit.

      Thank you. If you're in Detroit I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks, that means a lot.
