Kamrul lost a soldering station and testing tools to a break-in and needs $750 to reopen a phone repair counter and support the family.

For twelve years I have run a phone repair counter in Ahmedabad. In August, 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 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 7 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 $750 goes:
• Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $460
• Initial stock: replacement parts: $130
• Shop repairs and licensing: $65
• Working capital for the first month: $95
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

So sorry you're going through this. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 18 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Kamrul?
Thank you. If you're in Ahmedabad I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Let me know if you want more detail.
Sending love, Kamrul. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Ahmedabad
Best of luck, Kamrul. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. After 24 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
