For six years I have run a phone repair counter in Grand Rapids. In March, a fire in the building 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 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $3,150 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $350
• Initial stock: replacement parts: $340
• Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $2,460
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
