Help Daniela restart a phone repair counter in Latina after a break-in
A phone repair counter in Latina needs help replacing a soldering station and testing tools after a break-in.
🇮🇹 Latina, Lazio, Italy1,906 views
For fifteen years I have run a phone repair counter in Latina. In December, a break-in 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 Sunday, and I employed 2 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 $3,150 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $410
• Working capital for the first month: $500
• Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $2,240
Thank you for reading my story.
