Makati
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. - Mary Grace
