Back to business - Lovely's comeback in Lapu-Lapu
Lovely lost a soldering station and testing tools to a break-in and needs $500 to reopen a phone repair counter and support the family.
🇵🇭 6015, Lapu-Lapu, Cebu, Philippines599 views
For twelve years I have run a phone repair counter in Lapu-Lapu. In July, 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 Wednesday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $500 goes:
• Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $165
• Initial stock: replacement parts: $160
• Shop repairs and licensing: $80
• Working capital for the first month: $95
Every share and every dollar helps.
Updates from Lovely
Thank you all. We're at 55% now ($275). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for initial stock: replacement parts is now scheduled.

It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Lapu-Lapu.
