For four years I have run a phone repair counter in Bursa. 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 Thursday, and I employed 2 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. Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go. Where the $950 goes: • Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $580 • Initial stock: replacement parts: $180 • Shop repairs and licensing: $85 • Working capital for the first month: $105 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
