A phone repair counter in San Francisco needs help replacing a soldering station and testing tools after a storm that collapsed the roof.
Anywhere in the world1,204 views
For four years I have run a phone repair counter in San Francisco. In May, a storm that collapsed the roof 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 1 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 $5,000 goes:
• Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $2,950
• Initial stock: replacement parts: $890
• Shop repairs and licensing: $720
• Working capital for the first month: $440
If you're reading this, thank you.

Updates from Hadley
Thank you all. We're at 3% now ($129). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($79 in total) I made the first payment toward shop repairs and licensing. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Quick update: $29 raised so far (1%). we've started the first stage. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

Hope it all works out, Hadley. I hope things turn around soon. Love from San Francisco
So sorry you're going through this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of San Francisco.
I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 19 people at work. Greetings from Newcastle upon Tyne.
Hang in there, Hadley. Hope you get there
wishing you peace, Hadley. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Ikeja this morning. Love from Ikeja!
