Help Tika restart a phone repair counter in Malang after a break-in
A phone repair counter in Malang needs help replacing a soldering station and testing tools after a break-in.
🇮🇩 Malang, East Java, Indonesia1,336 views
For four years I have run a phone repair counter in Malang. 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 Wednesday, and I employed 1 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.
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: $340
• Initial stock: replacement parts: $105
• Working capital for the first month: $55
Thanks for being kind about this.

Sending strength, Tika. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Malang
Hope it all works out, Tika. This could happen to any of us. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings
keep going. Hope you make a strong comeback. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings
