Luca lost a soldering station and testing tools to a storm that collapsed the roof and needs $2,000 to reopen a phone repair counter and support the family.

For six years I have run a phone repair counter in Fort Worth. In April, 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 Friday, 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $2,000 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $270
• Initial stock: replacement parts: $410
• Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $1,320
I hope life is good to you.
