For six years I have run a phone repair counter in San Diego. In July, 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 Tuesday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 7 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 $2,500 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $890
• Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $1,300
• Shop repairs and licensing: $310
I hope life is good to you.

So sorry you're going through this, Hua. Small businesses are the heart of San Diego. Hope you're open again soon. God bless.
Keep going, Hua. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of San Diego
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Hua?
Hang in there. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Hua.
It's all in the list in the story. working capital for the first month is the big one at $890, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. I'll keep the page updated.
Thinking of you, Hua. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Lagos.
Thinking of you, Hua. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Bangkok so I could bring a meal.
