Hana lost a soldering station and testing tools to a break-in and needs $650 to reopen a phone repair counter and support the family.

For four years I have run a phone repair counter in Cairo. In August, 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 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 12 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 $650 goes:
• Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $410
• Initial stock: replacement parts: $55
• Shop repairs and licensing: $60
• Working capital for the first month: $125
Thank you so much.

Wishing you the best, Hana. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. It's not much but it's yours.
Keep going, Hana. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Saint Petersburg.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Hana.
So sorry you're going through this. I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Gangnam this morning. Greetings from Gangnam
Take care. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Cairo
good luck, Hana. Hope you make a strong comeback.
Sending love, Hana. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. I hope November is when things finally get easier. God bless.
