Help Dedi restart a phone repair counter in Bandung after a break-in
Dedi has run a phone repair counter for twelve years; a break-in destroyed the equipment, and $350 will put it back on its feet.
🇮🇩 Bandung, West Java, Indonesia1,623 views
For twelve years I have run a phone repair counter in Bandung. In July, 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 Thursday, and I employed 3 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 $350 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $115
• Initial stock: replacement parts: $135
• Shop repairs and licensing: $100
Every share and every dollar helps.

Rooting for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
sending strength. I hope things turn around soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.
Hang in there. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Campinas!
