Back to business - Senthil's comeback in Muzaffarpur
A phone repair counter in Muzaffarpur needs help replacing a soldering station and testing tools after a storm that collapsed the roof.
🇮🇳 India1,319 views
For four years I have run a phone repair counter in Muzaffarpur. In March, a storm that collapsed the roof 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 Wednesday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 12 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 $450 goes:
• Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $240
• Initial stock: replacement parts: $75
• Shop repairs and licensing: $85
• Working capital for the first month: $50
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

It's all in the list in the story. replacing a soldering station and testing tools is the big one at $240, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. I'll keep the page updated.
