Toulouse

For three years I have run a phone repair counter in Toulouse. In August, a break-in 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 2 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. I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go. Where the $2,300 goes: • Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $840 • Initial stock: replacement parts: $390 • Shop repairs and licensing: $600 • Working capital for the first month: $470 Thanks for reading all this.
