Back to business - Gabriela's comeback in București
A phone repair counter in București needs help replacing a soldering station and testing tools after a long illness and repossession.
🇷🇴 București, Romania1,584 views
For three years I have run a phone repair counter in București. In September, a long illness and repossession 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 1 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $1,250 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $240
• Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $860
• Initial stock: replacement parts: $150
If you're reading this, thank you.

Thinking of you. Hope you make a strong comeback. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Siliguri

thinking of you and your family, Gabriela. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. God bless.
Sending good thoughts, Gabriela. Hope the shop reopens soon
Small businesses are the heart of București. Hope you're open again soon. Wish I lived closer to Muzaffarpur so I could bring a meal. Take care!
Hope things get better soon, Gabriela. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Paarl.
