Gunawan lost a soldering station and testing tools to a long illness and repossession and needs $300 to reopen a phone repair counter and support the family.

For twelve years I have run a phone repair counter in Depok. In February, a long illness and repossession 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 Tuesday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 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 $300 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $80
• Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $160
• Working capital for the first month: $60
Thank you for reading my story.

Hope it all works out, Gunawan. I hope things turn around soon
Thanks for sharing this, Gunawan. Hope the shop reopens soon. Take care.
Thinking of you and your family, Gunawan. Looking forward to the next update. I hope May is when things finally get easier. Take care!
Wishing you peace. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 8 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything
thinking of you and your family. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Utrecht so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
