Parker needs a soldering station and testing tools to reopen a phone repair counter
Parker has run a phone repair counter for three years; a break-in destroyed the equipment, and $2,900 will put it back on its feet.

For three years I have run a phone repair counter in Oakland. In July, 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 Friday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 7 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 $2,900 goes:
• Initial stock: replacement parts: $470
• Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $2,050
• Working capital for the first month: $380
If you're reading this, thank you.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Parker?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about initial stock: replacement parts, advice is welcome too. I'll keep the page updated.
Take care, Parker. Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor in Los Angeles donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
