For nine years I have run a phone repair counter in Londrina. In July, 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 Saturday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 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 $750 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $165
• Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $350
• Initial stock: replacement parts: $235
If you're reading this, thank you.
Updates from Murilo
Good news. Because of your gifts ($244 in total) I made the first payment toward working capital for the first month. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
We're at 7% thanks to 1 of you. I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts. More news soon.

Wishing you the best, Murilo. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Braunschweig but we're thinking of you. Blessings
Wishing you peace. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Amritsar.
