Carolina needs a soldering station and testing tools to reopen a phone repair counter
A phone repair counter in Cali needs help replacing a soldering station and testing tools after a break-in.
🇨🇴 Colombia858 views
For nine years I have run a phone repair counter in Cali. In February, a break-in 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 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 $900 goes:
• Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $650
• Initial stock: replacement parts: $115
• Shop repairs and licensing: $80
• Working capital for the first month: $55
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
