Help Antonio restart a phone repair counter in Buenos Aires after a fire in the building
Antonio has run a phone repair counter for three years; a fire in the building destroyed the equipment, and $1,000 will put it back on its feet.
🇦🇷 Buenos Aires, Argentina922 views
For three years I have run a phone repair counter in Buenos Aires. In August, 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 Thursday, 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $1,000 goes:
• Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $500
• Initial stock: replacement parts: $210
• Shop repairs and licensing: $125
• Working capital for the first month: $165
Every share and every dollar helps.

Thinking of you. Shared it with a few friends. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too!

how is Antonio doing now?
Stay strong. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 10 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

best of luck. Shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Toronto
Hope things get better soon, Antonio. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Multan so I could bring a meal
