Leeds
For twelve years I have run a phone repair counter in Leeds. In August, 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 Tuesday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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 $2,200 goes: • Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $1,100 • Initial stock: replacement parts: $360 • Shop repairs and licensing: $220 • Working capital for the first month: $520 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Levi
