A phone repair counter in Metz needs help replacing a soldering station and testing tools after the demolition of the market.

For fifteen years I have run a phone repair counter in Metz. In May, 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 Saturday, and I employed 3 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 $2,400 goes:
• Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $950
• Initial stock: replacement parts: $390
• Shop repairs and licensing: $470
• Working capital for the first month: $590
Thank you for reading my story.
