Help Alexandra restart a phone repair counter in San Francisco after a long illness and repossession
Alexandra lost a soldering station and testing tools to a long illness and repossession and needs $1,800 to reopen a phone repair counter and support the family.

For three years I have run a phone repair counter in San Francisco. In September, 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 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 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 $1,800 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $580
• Shop repairs and licensing: $690
• Initial stock: replacement parts: $530
With deep gratitude,
Alexandra
