For four years I have run a phone repair counter in Auckland. In April, 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 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. Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go. Where the $2,100 goes: • Shop repairs and licensing: $250 • Working capital for the first month: $560 • Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $1,290 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Eliana
