Help Omar restart a phone repair counter in Nashik after a long illness and repossession
Omar has run a phone repair counter for four years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $250 will put it back on its feet.
🇮🇳 Nashik, Maharashtra, India369 views
For four years I have run a phone repair counter in Nashik. In September, 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 Thursday, and I employed 3 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 $250 goes:
• Initial stock: replacement parts: $105
• Shop repairs and licensing: $75
• Working capital for the first month: $70
Every share and every dollar helps.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Omar
Initial stock: replacement parts is $105 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page.
Thinking of you and your family, Omar. Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Sending good thoughts. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Nashik.
