For nine years I have run a phone repair counter in Rawalpindi. In August, floodwater 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 Monday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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 $350 goes:
• Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $155
• Initial stock: replacement parts: $90
• Shop repairs and licensing: $70
• Working capital for the first month: $35
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Thinking of you, Umar. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Take care.
