Help Oliver restart a phone repair counter in San Diego after the demolition of the market

Oliver has run a phone repair counter for six years; the demolition of the market destroyed the equipment, and $2,650 will put it back on its feet.

For six years I have run a phone repair counter in San Diego. In May, 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 Sunday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 7 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 $2,650 goes: • Shop repairs and licensing: $300 • Working capital for the first month: $270 • Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $2,080 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Oliver
