For three years I have run a phone repair counter in Coimbatore. In April, the demolition of the market 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 3 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 $400 goes:
• Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $150
• Initial stock: replacement parts: $95
• Shop repairs and licensing: $80
• Working capital for the first month: $75
Every share and every dollar helps.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Gauri.
So sorry you're going through this. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to São Paulo so I could bring a meal.
