Lucky needs a soldering station and testing tools to reopen a phone repair counter

For six years I have run a phone repair counter in Kano. In April, 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 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 $450 goes: • Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $300 • Initial stock: replacement parts: $80 • Working capital for the first month: $70 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Lucky
