Ekurhuleni

For three years I have run a phone repair counter in Ekurhuleni. In August, 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 Saturday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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 $600 goes: • Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $320 • Initial stock: replacement parts: $160 • Shop repairs and licensing: $120 Glad we found this place.
