Asma needs a soldering station and testing tools to reopen a phone repair counter
A phone repair counter in Paris needs help replacing a soldering station and testing tools after a break-in.
🇫🇷 Paris, Île-de-France, France1,049 views
For nine years I have run a phone repair counter in Paris. In July, a break-in 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 Tuesday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 12 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 $1,800 goes:
• Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $1,250
• Shop repairs and licensing: $240
• Initial stock: replacement parts: $310
Thank you for reading my story.

Hope this works out for you. Greetings from Ogbomosho
Thinking of you. Hope you make a strong comeback. It's not much but it's yours. All the best.
rooting for you. This could happen to any of us. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Paris.
Keep going, Asma. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best
Take care. Small businesses are the heart of Paris. Hope you're open again soon. After 18 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Keep going. Shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Ribeirão Preto.
