For three years I have run a phone repair counter in Freiburg. In May, a fire in the building 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 Monday, 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 $1,850 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $470
• Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $900
• Initial stock: replacement parts: $480
Thanks for reading all this.
