Hye-jin needs a soldering station and testing tools to reopen a phone repair counter

A phone repair counter in Toledo needs help replacing a soldering station and testing tools after a break-in.

Toledo
For six years I have run a phone repair counter in Toledo. In January, 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 Sunday, 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. Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go. Where the $1,500 goes: • Initial stock: replacement parts: $630 • Working capital for the first month: $560 • Shop repairs and licensing: $310 With deep gratitude, Hye-jin
