For three years I have run a phone repair counter in Udaipur. In July, the demolition of the market 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 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 7 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 $350 goes:
• Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $210
• Initial stock: replacement parts: $60
• Shop repairs and licensing: $80
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Updates from Ananya
Quick update: $16 raised so far (5%). we've started the first stage. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($11 in total) I made the first payment toward replacing a soldering station and testing tools. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Udaipur.
Thank you. If you're in Udaipur I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.
Good luck, Ananya. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.
Thinking of you, Ananya. Hope you make a strong comeback.
Stay strong, Ananya. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
