Back to business - Nasser's comeback in Jeddah
Nasser has run a phone repair counter for nine years; a fire in the building destroyed the equipment, and $2,350 will put it back on its feet.

For nine years I have run a phone repair counter in Jeddah. In December, 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 10 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 $2,350 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $390
• Initial stock: replacement parts: $340
• Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $1,620
With deep gratitude,
Nasser

How is Nasser doing now?
sending love, Nasser. Shared this with my family. My neighbor in Liverpool donated after I showed her your page.
Take care, Nasser. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Mangaluru but we're thinking of you. All the best
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Nasser.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. shop repairs and licensing comes first ($390) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks for asking.
Thinking of you, Nasser. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. God bless
Sending strength. Looking forward to the next update. Sent it to 9 people at work. Blessings.
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Jeddah
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about shop repairs and licensing, advice is welcome too. Ask me anything else.
hope it all works out. I hope things turn around soon. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Leeds!

Rooting for you, Nasser. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.
reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 7 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Wishing you peace, Nasser. Hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings.
sending love, Nasser. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. We're a small family in Santa Fe but we're thinking of you. God bless.
