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.
Updates from Daniel
Quick update: $1,678 raised so far (47%). I made the first payment toward replacing a soldering station and testing tools. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Small update. $776 so far, I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts.

Sending good thoughts. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Nottingham.
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.
So sorry you're going through this. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Ottawa.
