A phone repair counter in Lecce needs help replacing a soldering station and testing tools after a fire in the building.

For three years I have run a phone repair counter in Lecce. In July, 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 Sunday, and I employed 1 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 $1,250 goes:
• Initial stock: replacement parts: $280
• Working capital for the first month: $300
• Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $670
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Sending good thoughts, Sergio. This could happen to any of us. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Hang in there, Sergio. Shared it with a few friends. All the best.
