Back to business - Camila's comeback in Columbus
Camila has run a phone repair counter for fifteen years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $4,250 will put it back on its feet.

For fifteen years I have run a phone repair counter in Columbus. In August, 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 Monday, 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $4,250 goes:
• Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $3,200
• Shop repairs and licensing: $280
• Working capital for the first month: $770
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Hope this works out for you. Love from Baton Rouge.
Hang in there, Camila. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best
Hang in there. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Columbus donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Columbus.
small businesses are the heart of Columbus. Hope you're open again soon. Blessings.
