For fifteen years I have run a phone repair counter in Lahore. In June, 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 Tuesday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 12 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 $650 goes: โ€ข Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $390 โ€ข Initial stock: replacement parts: $80 โ€ข Shop repairs and licensing: $65 โ€ข Working capital for the first month: $115 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Imran

      Thank you. If you're in Lahore I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Fair thing to want to know.

  • Have you tried the local mosque? They sometimes help with part of this.

    • Stay strong. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Lahore
