Help Beau restart a phone repair counter in New York after the demolition of the market
A phone repair counter in New York needs help replacing a soldering station and testing tools after the demolition of the market.
🇺🇸 United States5,216 views
For fifteen years I have run a phone repair counter in New York. In August, the demolition of the market 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 Wednesday, 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 $3,200 goes:
• Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $1,250
• Initial stock: replacement parts: $680
• Shop repairs and licensing: $670
• Working capital for the first month: $600
Glad we found this place.
