Bereket has run a phone repair counter for four years; floodwater destroyed the equipment, and $500 will put it back on its feet.

For four years I have run a phone repair counter in Adama. In July, floodwater 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 7 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 $500 goes:
• Initial stock: replacement parts: $115
• Shop repairs and licensing: $60
• Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $325
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
