Help Sofía restart a phone repair counter in San Miguel de Tucumán after a long illness and repossession
Sofía has run a phone repair counter for four years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $800 will put it back on its feet.
🇦🇷 San Miguel de Tucumán, Tucumán, Argentina1,536 views
For four years I have run a phone repair counter in San Miguel de Tucumán. 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 Wednesday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 10 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 $800 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $65
• Working capital for the first month: $120
• Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $615
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near San Miguel de Tucumán!
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about shop repairs and licensing, advice is welcome too. Fair thing to want to know.
shared it with a few friends. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings
Good luck, Sofía. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings
Thinking of you and your family. Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best
Hang in there. Shared this with my family. Love from Madurai
Wishing you peace, Sofía. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did
