For twelve years I have run a phone repair counter in Hyderabad. In November, a storm that collapsed the roof 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 Monday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 3 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 $250 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $35
• Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $135
• Working capital for the first month: $80

Sending good thoughts, Ahmed. Your post was clear and honest.
Thanks for sharing this, Ahmed. Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
Sending love, Ahmed. Hope you get there. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings.
Keep going. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Nice.
I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Greetings from Gwagwalada
