For twelve years I have run a phone repair counter in Suwon. In August, a fire in the building 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 Tuesday, and I employed 3 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $900 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $410
• Initial stock: replacement parts: $195
• Working capital for the first month: $295
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

So sorry you're going through this, Eun-kyung. Gave what I could, wish it was more
Thinking of you and your family, Eun-kyung. I hope things turn around soon. Don't give up. God bless.
Sending strength, Eun-kyung. Hope you make a strong comeback. I hope December is when things finally get easier. Love from Warsaw
Praying for you. Small businesses are the heart of Suwon. Hope you're open again soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
