Puebla

For six years I have run a phone repair counter in Puebla. In June, floodwater 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 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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 $750 goes: • Shop repairs and licensing: $190 • Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $470 • Initial stock: replacement parts: $90 Thanks for being kind about this. - Carolina
