A phone repair counter in Jakarta needs help replacing a soldering station and testing tools after a fire in the building.

For nine years I have run a phone repair counter in Jakarta. In July, 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 Sunday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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 $450 goes:
• Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $185
• Initial stock: replacement parts: $85
• Shop repairs and licensing: $80
• Working capital for the first month: $100
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
Updates from Andi
Wanted to say thank you properly. 69% funded and I made the first payment toward initial stock: replacement parts.
Thank you all. We're at 53% now ($239). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward working capital for the first month.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Andi
