For three years I have run a phone repair counter in Los Angeles. In April, 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 Sunday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 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. Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go. Where the $2,500 goes: • Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $1,150 • Initial stock: replacement parts: $320 • Shop repairs and licensing: $280 • Working capital for the first month: $750 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

        Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor in Tokyo donated after I showed her your page.

          Hope it all works out. Hope you make a strong comeback. Put this on a community board in Bahir Dar this morning. Blessings.

            You're not alone. Hope the shop reopens soon. I hope August is when things finally get easier.

              Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Los Angeles
