For nine years I have run a phone repair counter in Tema. In June, floodwater 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 8 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 $450 goes:
• Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $220
• Initial stock: replacement parts: $105
• Shop repairs and licensing: $50
• Working capital for the first month: $75
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

sending good thoughts, Afia. Hope the shop reopens soon. Take care!
sending strength. Small businesses are the heart of Tema. Hope you're open again soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
rooting for you, Afia. Shared this with my family. God bless
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Afia
It's all in the list in the story. replacing a soldering station and testing tools is the big one at $220, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. It helps to be asked.
Sending love, Afia. Your post was clear and honest. After 28 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best
Sending love, Afia. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Tema.
So sorry you're going through this, Afia. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
So sorry you're going through this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Brampton.
