Sanjay lost a soldering station and testing tools to a fire in the building and needs $500 to reopen a phone repair counter and support the family.

For nine years I have run a phone repair counter in Tiruchirappalli. In June, a fire in the building 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 Wednesday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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 $500 goes:
• Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $330
• Initial stock: replacement parts: $95
• Shop repairs and licensing: $75
Thanks for being kind about this.

best of luck, Sanjay. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Cali.
Wishing you the best, Sanjay. Hope this works out for you. Love from Fresno.
