Back to business - Alejandro's comeback in Ciudad de México
Alejandro has run a phone repair counter for four years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $1,000 will put it back on its feet.

For four years I have run a phone repair counter in Ciudad de México. In January, 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 1 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $1,000 goes:
• Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $370
• Initial stock: replacement parts: $230
• Shop repairs and licensing: $185
• Working capital for the first month: $215
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Good luck, Alejandro. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings
