Help Jahid restart a phone repair counter in Khulna after floodwater
Jahid has run a phone repair counter for four years; floodwater destroyed the equipment, and $200 will put it back on its feet.

For four years I have run a phone repair counter in Khulna. In September, floodwater 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 Wednesday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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 $200 goes:
• Initial stock: replacement parts: $95
• Working capital for the first month: $30
• Shop repairs and licensing: $75
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Updates from Jahid
Update from Khulna: I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts. We're at 83% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Small update. $115 so far, I made the first payment toward initial stock: replacement parts.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 13% funded and I made the first payment toward shop repairs and licensing.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Jahid.
Praying for you, Jahid. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
Praying for you. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.
Take care. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope December is when things finally get easier. Take care
Sending love, Jahid. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. God bless.
Hope things get better soon. I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in Thủ Đức donated after I showed her your page.
Take care. Hope this works out for you. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Warsaw
