A phone repair counter in Amritsar needs help replacing a soldering station and testing tools after floodwater.

For fifteen years I have run a phone repair counter in Amritsar. In August, 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 Monday, 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 $350 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $55
• Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $180
• Working capital for the first month: $115
Thanks for reading all this.

Small businesses are the heart of Amritsar. Hope you're open again soon.
best of luck, Haritha. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
