For nine years I have run a phone repair counter in St. Petersburg. In May, a storm that collapsed the roof 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 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $4,250 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $620
• Initial stock: replacement parts: $600
• Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $3,030
Thanks for reading all this.
