Help Beatriz restart a phone repair counter in Puebla after a fire in the building
A phone repair counter in Puebla needs help replacing a soldering station and testing tools after a fire in the building.
🇲🇽 Mexico2,348 views
For fifteen years I have run a phone repair counter in Puebla. In December, 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 Saturday, and I employed 2 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 $550 goes:
• Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $270
• Shop repairs and licensing: $90
• Working capital for the first month: $190
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
