Back to business - Daniel's comeback in Erie
A phone repair counter in Erie needs help replacing a soldering station and testing tools after a fire in the building.
Anywhere in the world3,069 views
For twelve years I have run a phone repair counter in Erie. In November, a fire in the building 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 1 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 $3,100 goes:
• Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $1,450
• Initial stock: replacement parts: $930
• Shop repairs and licensing: $300
• Working capital for the first month: $420
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Daniel?
Small businesses are the heart of Erie. Hope you're open again soon. God bless.
