Back to business - Olga's comeback in Kyiv
A phone repair counter in Kyiv needs help replacing a soldering station and testing tools after the demolition of the market.

For four years I have run a phone repair counter in Kyiv. In July, 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 Monday, and I employed 3 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 $800 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $110
• Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $590
• Shop repairs and licensing: $100
With deep gratitude,
Olga

Shared it with a few friends. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Kyiv.
Wishing you peace, Olga. Hope the shop reopens soon. Wish I lived closer to Vadodara so I could bring a meal. God bless.
This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Shubra this morning. God bless.
Best of luck, Olga. Your post was clear and honest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
Thinking of you and your family, Olga. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Manchester but we're thinking of you. God bless.
keep going, Olga. Hope you make a strong comeback. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.
