Comfort needs a soldering station and testing tools to reopen a phone repair counter
Comfort has run a phone repair counter for six years; a fire in the building destroyed the equipment, and $300 will put it back on its feet.

For six years I have run a phone repair counter in Lagos. In January, a fire in the building 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 Thursday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 3 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 $300 goes:
• Initial stock: replacement parts: $65
• Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $155
• Shop repairs and licensing: $80
Thank you so much.

Sending strength. Your post was clear and honest. After 22 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
You're not alone. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Aurangabad
hang in there, Comfort. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care
