Anil lost a soldering station and testing tools to the demolition of the market and needs $1,550 to reopen a phone repair counter and support the family.

For six years I have run a phone repair counter in London. In June, 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 Tuesday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 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 $1,550 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $600
• Initial stock: replacement parts: $450
• Shop repairs and licensing: $500
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Wishing you peace. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Kyiv.
Keep going, Anil. Hope this works out for you. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
