Back to business - Lyudmila's comeback in Kharkiv
A phone repair counter in Kharkiv needs help replacing a soldering station and testing tools after a fire in the building.
🇺🇦 Ukraine776 views
For nine years I have run a phone repair counter in Kharkiv. In July, 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 $800 goes:
• Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $560
• Shop repairs and licensing: $75
• Initial stock: replacement parts: $165
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Kharkiv
wishing you the best. Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Kharkiv.
Praying for you, Lyudmila. Hope the shop reopens soon. Greetings from Rotterdam
Thanks for sharing this, Lyudmila. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Limerick so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Nîmes.
