A phone repair counter in Messina needs help replacing a soldering station and testing tools after a long illness and repossession.
🇮🇹 Italy3,425 views
For three years I have run a phone repair counter in Messina. In August, 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 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 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 $2,200 goes:
• Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $1,050
• Initial stock: replacement parts: $490
• Shop repairs and licensing: $200
• Working capital for the first month: $460
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
