Help Andrés restart a phone repair counter in Anaheim after a storm that collapsed the roof

Andrés has run a phone repair counter for four years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $4,500 will put it back on its feet.

For four years I have run a phone repair counter in Anaheim. In August, a storm that collapsed the roof 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 Tuesday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 10 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 $4,500 goes: • Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $2,850 • Initial stock: replacement parts: $460 • Shop repairs and licensing: $470 • Working capital for the first month: $720 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Andrés

        Keep going. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it!
