Back to business - Fitri's comeback in Jakarta Selatan
A phone repair counter in Jakarta Selatan needs help replacing a soldering station and testing tools after a storm that collapsed the roof.
🇮🇩 Jakarta Selatan, DKI Jakarta, Indonesia593 views
For three years I have run a phone repair counter in Jakarta Selatan. In July, a storm that collapsed the roof 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 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 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 $350 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $100
• Initial stock: replacement parts: $45
• Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $205
Thanks for reading all this.

Praying for you, Fitri. Shared it with a few friends. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Jakarta Selatan.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Fitri?
you're not alone, Fitri. Small businesses are the heart of Jakarta Selatan. Hope you're open again soon. Thinking of Jakarta Selatan
Take care, Fitri. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Love from Dundee.
Good luck, Fitri. Hope the shop reopens soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Jakarta Selatan.
Keep going. Hope you get there. I hope October is when things finally get easier.
