Help Mary Grace restart a phone repair counter in Makati after a break-in
A phone repair counter in Makati needs help replacing a soldering station and testing tools after a break-in.
🇵🇭 Philippines1,154 views
For three years I have run a phone repair counter in Makati. In May, 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $800 goes:
• Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $540
• Initial stock: replacement parts: $90
• Shop repairs and licensing: $65
• Working capital for the first month: $105
Thank you so much.
