Back to business - Hiroshi's comeback in Osaka
A phone repair counter in Osaka needs help replacing a soldering station and testing tools after a fire in the building.
🇯🇵 Osaka, Japan80 views
For four years I have run a phone repair counter in Osaka. In August, a fire in the building 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 Friday, 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 $3,150 goes:
• Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $2,000
• Initial stock: replacement parts: $560
• Shop repairs and licensing: $350
• Working capital for the first month: $240
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Sending good thoughts. Shared it with a few friends. Sent it to 21 people at work. Greetings from Warri.
thinking of you and your family. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Dundee so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Osaka
