A phone repair counter in Sydney needs help replacing a soldering station and testing tools after a long illness and repossession.

Sydney
For fifteen years I have run a phone repair counter in Sydney. In July, 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 Sunday, and I employed 2 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 $1,350 goes: • Initial stock: replacement parts: $570 • Working capital for the first month: $250 • Shop repairs and licensing: $530 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Riley
