Back to business - Meena's comeback in Mumbai
Meena has run a phone repair counter for nine years; a fire in the building destroyed the equipment, and $250 will put it back on its feet.

For nine years I have run a phone repair counter in Mumbai. In August, 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 Saturday, and I employed 1 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $250 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $35
• Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $160
• Initial stock: replacement parts: $55
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

wishing you the best. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best
Good luck, Meena. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Pune
