A phone repair counter in Ikeja needs help replacing a soldering station and testing tools after floodwater.

For fifteen years I have run a phone repair counter in Ikeja. In July, 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 Tuesday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 12 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 $450 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $50
• Shop repairs and licensing: $75
• Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $325
Thanks for reading all this.

Wishing you the best, Lola. This could happen to any of us. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Birmingham.
hang in there. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too
Sending good thoughts, Lola. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up.
