Help Yasir restart a phone repair counter in Lahore after floodwater
Yasir has run a phone repair counter for nine years; floodwater destroyed the equipment, and $550 will put it back on its feet.

For nine years I have run a phone repair counter in Lahore. In June, 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 Wednesday, and I employed 2 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $550 goes:
• Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $370
• Initial stock: replacement parts: $55
• Shop repairs and licensing: $70
• Working capital for the first month: $55
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Sending strength. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Yasir!
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. replacing a soldering station and testing tools is the biggest at $370. Ask me anything else.
Take care, Yasir. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.
Hang in there, Yasir. Hope you make a strong comeback
