For four years I have run a phone repair counter in Bristol. In April, a long illness and repossession 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 Monday, 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $2,600 goes:
• Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $1,150
• Initial stock: replacement parts: $340
• Shop repairs and licensing: $610
• Working capital for the first month: $500
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

best of luck. Looking forward to the next update. We're a small family in Lagos but we're thinking of you. All the best.
your post was clear and honest. We're a small family in Lahore but we're thinking of you. God bless
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Cebu City.
Stay strong, Liam. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Manchester.
Sending love, Liam. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Bristol!
