A phone repair counter in New Delhi needs help replacing a soldering station and testing tools after a storm that collapsed the roof.

For nine years I have run a phone repair counter in New Delhi. In December, a storm that collapsed the roof 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 2 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 $650 goes:
• Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $380
• Initial stock: replacement parts: $100
• Shop repairs and licensing: $80
• Working capital for the first month: $90
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Rooting for you, Kunal. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Grand Rapids.
