Help Novelette restart a phone repair counter in Mandeville after the demolition of the market
Novelette has run a phone repair counter for fifteen years; the demolition of the market destroyed the equipment, and $1,050 will put it back on its feet.

For fifteen years I have run a phone repair counter in Mandeville. In August, 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 12 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 $1,050 goes:
• Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $590
• Working capital for the first month: $155
• Initial stock: replacement parts: $305
With deep gratitude,
Novelette

Thinking of you and your family, Novelette. Hope you make a strong comeback. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless.
