Nottingham
For three years I have run a phone repair counter in Nottingham. 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 Saturday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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 $3,550 goes: • Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $2,450 • Initial stock: replacement parts: $530 • Working capital for the first month: $570 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

        Small businesses are the heart of Nottingham. Hope you're open again soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from San Francisco.
