Help Tippawan restart a phone repair counter in Nakhon Ratchasima after a break-in
Tippawan lost a soldering station and testing tools to a break-in and needs $850 to reopen a phone repair counter and support the family.

For twelve years I have run a phone repair counter in Nakhon Ratchasima. 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 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 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 $850 goes:
• Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $630
• Initial stock: replacement parts: $100
• Shop repairs and licensing: $45
• Working capital for the first month: $75
With deep gratitude,
Tippawan
