Back to business - Miles's comeback in London
Miles has run a phone repair counter for four years; the demolition of the market destroyed the equipment, and $2,400 will put it back on its feet.

For four years I have run a phone repair counter in London. In January, the demolition of the market 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $2,400 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $680
• Initial stock: replacement parts: $550
• Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $1,170
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Hope things get better soon. Shared this with my family. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 25 people at work. Greetings from Cork.
So sorry you're going through this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Mukono so I could bring a meal.
