Rolando needs a soldering station and testing tools to reopen a phone repair counter
A phone repair counter in Pasig needs help replacing a soldering station and testing tools after the demolition of the market.
🇵🇭 Metro Manila, Philippines1,271 views
For fifteen years I have run a phone repair counter in Pasig. In May, the demolition of the market 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 Saturday, and I employed 3 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 $300 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $60
• Working capital for the first month: $40
• Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $200
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Rooting for you. Shared this with my family. Love from Warsaw.
You're not alone. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Pasig!
Thinking of you, Rolando. I hope things turn around soon
