Ioanna needs a soldering station and testing tools to reopen a phone repair counter
Ioanna has run a phone repair counter for three years; floodwater destroyed the equipment, and $1,700 will put it back on its feet.
🇬🇷 Thessaloniki, Central Macedonia, Greece1,380 views
For three years I have run a phone repair counter in Thessaloniki. In September, 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 Friday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 3 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 $1,700 goes:
• Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $680
• Initial stock: replacement parts: $460
• Shop repairs and licensing: $350
• Working capital for the first month: $210
With deep gratitude,
Ioanna

Wishing you the best, Ioanna. Hope this works out for you. I hope November is when things finally get easier.
hope this works out for you. Greetings from Mardan
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ioanna.
Good luck, Ioanna. Hope you get there.
How is Ioanna doing now?
Rooting for you, Ioanna. This could happen to any of us. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
thanks for sharing this. I hope things turn around soon. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings
You're not alone, Ioanna. This could happen to any of us. Take care.
Good luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like!
