Back to business - Anna's comeback in Dallas

A phone repair counter in Dallas needs help replacing a soldering station and testing tools after a long illness and repossession.

For twelve years I have run a phone repair counter in Dallas. In December, a long illness and repossession 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 Sunday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 10 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 $1,300 goes: • Working capital for the first month: $340 • Initial stock: replacement parts: $750 • Shop repairs and licensing: $210 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Anna

Updates from Anna

  1. Wanted to say thank you properly. 66% funded and I made the first payment toward initial stock: replacement parts.

  2. Update from Dallas: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 34% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
