For nine years I have run a phone repair counter in Houston. In April, a long illness and repossession 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 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $2,700 goes:
• Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $1,550
• Initial stock: replacement parts: $330
• Shop repairs and licensing: $440
• Working capital for the first month: $380
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Updates from Beau
Quick update: $377 raised so far (14%). we've started the first stage. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($292 in total) I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
