For six years I have run a phone repair counter in Leeds. In August, a break-in 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 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 $2,900 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $280
• Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $2,100
• Initial stock: replacement parts: $520
Thanks for reading all this.

Thinking of you and your family, Terry. Shared this with my family.
Thanks for sharing this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from São Paulo.
Thanks for sharing this. Small businesses are the heart of Leeds. Hope you're open again soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Wishing you peace, Terry. Hope you make a strong comeback. Thinking of Leeds.
Wishing you peace. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.
