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

For twelve years I have run a phone repair counter in Mangaluru. 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 Friday, and I employed 2 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $600 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $35
• Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $400
• Initial stock: replacement parts: $165
With deep gratitude,
Kunal
