Help Leo restart a phone repair counter in Quezon City after a fire in the building
Leo has run a phone repair counter for fifteen years; a fire in the building destroyed the equipment, and $550 will put it back on its feet.
🇵🇭 Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines346 views
For fifteen years I have run a phone repair counter in Quezon City. In November, a fire in the building 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 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 3 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 $550 goes:
• Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $230
• Initial stock: replacement parts: $70
• Shop repairs and licensing: $100
• Working capital for the first month: $150
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Sending love. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
Thinking of you. Hope you get there. Greetings from Manchester.
Wishing you the best, Leo. Small businesses are the heart of Quezon City. Hope you're open again soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care.
