Guilherme has run a phone repair counter for twelve years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $700 will put it back on its feet.

For twelve years I have run a phone repair counter in Santos. In November, 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 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 7 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 $700 goes: • Initial stock: replacement parts: $200 • Shop repairs and licensing: $90 • Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $410 Thank you so much.
