Montpellier
For six years I have run a phone repair counter in Montpellier. In April, 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 Friday, and I employed 3 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 $2,750 goes: โ€ข Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $1,750 โ€ข Initial stock: replacement parts: $320 โ€ข Shop repairs and licensing: $500 โ€ข Working capital for the first month: $180 I hope life is good to you.

    Thinking of you, Sarah. This could happen to any of us. After 13 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Thessaloniki.
