Quezon City
For nine years I have run a phone repair counter in Quezon City. In September, 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 Wednesday, 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. I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go. Where the $800 goes: • Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $470 • Initial stock: replacement parts: $135 • Shop repairs and licensing: $40 • Working capital for the first month: $155 Thanks for reading all this. - Cherry
