Start-up fund for Eman: reopening a phone repair counter after a long illness and repossession

For nine years I have run a phone repair counter in Faisalabad. In July, 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 Friday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 12 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 $450 goes: • Shop repairs and licensing: $35 • Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $340 • Working capital for the first month: $75 Thanks for being kind about this. - Eman
