Aurangabad

For fifteen years I have run a phone repair counter in Aurangabad. In May, a long illness and repossession 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 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 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 $600 goes: • Shop repairs and licensing: $105 • Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $400 • Working capital for the first month: $95 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
