For four years I have run a phone repair counter in Córdoba. In May, a break-in 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 Thursday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 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 $1,500 goes: • Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $700 • Initial stock: replacement parts: $270 • Shop repairs and licensing: $380 • Working capital for the first month: $150 I hope life is good to you.
