Back to business - Irena's comeback in Warsaw
A phone repair counter in Warsaw needs help replacing a soldering station and testing tools after a break-in.
🇵🇱 Warsaw, Masovia, Poland1,716 views
For three years I have run a phone repair counter in Warsaw. 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 Sunday, 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $1,400 goes:
• Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $570
• Initial stock: replacement parts: $290
• Shop repairs and licensing: $250
• Working capital for the first month: $290
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

You're not alone, Irena. Hope this works out for you. We're a small family in Muzaffarpur but we're thinking of you. Love from Muzaffarpur
Sending good thoughts, Irena. Hope the shop reopens soon. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings
