For six years I have run a phone repair counter in London. In April, the demolition of the market 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 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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 $2,700 goes: • Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $1,900 • Working capital for the first month: $230 • Initial stock: replacement parts: $570 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Updates from Nathan

  1. Quick update: $2,032 raised so far (75%). the plan for replacing a soldering station and testing tools is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
