For twelve years I have run a phone repair counter in Latina. 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 Thursday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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 $2,500 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $220
• Working capital for the first month: $500
• Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $1,780
Glad we found this place.

Thinking of you and your family, Barbara. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Barbara
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. shop repairs and licensing is the biggest at $220. Fair thing to want to know.
Sending strength, Barbara. Looking forward to the next update. All the best.
hang in there. It takes guts to ask. Well done. God bless
take care. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings
everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from London.
