For three years I have run a phone repair counter in Novosibirsk. In July, 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 Thursday, and I employed 3 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 $800 goes: • Shop repairs and licensing: $70 • Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $640 • Initial stock: replacement parts: $90 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

    So sorry you're going through this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Ankara donated after I showed her your page.
