For nine years I have run a phone repair counter in Yonkers. In July, 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 Friday, and I employed 1 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 $2,150 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $480
• Shop repairs and licensing: $250
• Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $1,420
Thanks for reading all this.

Keep going, Christopher. Shared it with a few friends. Take care.
Keep going. Gave what I could, wish it was more. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Yonkers.
