Back to business - Liza's comeback in Taguig
A phone repair counter in Taguig needs help replacing a soldering station and testing tools after a fire in the building.
Anywhere in the world1,665 views
For twelve years I have run a phone repair counter in Taguig. In March, 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 Sunday, 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 $700 goes:
• Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $410
• Initial stock: replacement parts: $115
• Shop repairs and licensing: $115
• Working capital for the first month: $60
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Gqeberha.
hope things get better soon. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.
Take care, Liza. Small businesses are the heart of Taguig. Hope you're open again soon. Don't give up.
Hope it all works out, Liza. Shared it with a few friends. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless
