Amir has run a phone repair counter for twelve years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $3,250 will put it back on its feet.

Warren
For twelve years I have run a phone repair counter in Warren. In July, 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 Friday, and I employed 2 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. Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go. Where the $3,250 goes: • Initial stock: replacement parts: $840 • Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $1,900 • Shop repairs and licensing: $510 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

    You're not alone. This could happen to any of us. My husband and I read this together. Take care

      Praying for you, Amir. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry

              Praying for you. Your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.
