For four years I have run a phone repair counter in Aurangabad. In July, a storm that collapsed the roof 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 Sunday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 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 $600 goes:
• Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $400
• Initial stock: replacement parts: $50
• Shop repairs and licensing: $40
• Working capital for the first month: $110
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Senthil?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about replacing a soldering station and testing tools, advice is welcome too. It helps to be asked.
wishing you the best, Senthil. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up
Shared it with a few friends. Love from Poznań.
Wishing you the best, Senthil. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Aurangabad.
