Start-up fund for Leah: reopening a phone repair counter after a storm that collapsed the roof
Leah has run a phone repair counter for fifteen years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $2,300 will put it back on its feet.

For fifteen years I have run a phone repair counter in Anaheim. In July, 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 Saturday, 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.
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: $1,200
• Initial stock: replacement parts: $530
• Shop repairs and licensing: $250
• Working capital for the first month: $320
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Quezon City so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Rohini.
Good luck, Leah. Hope this works out for you. Love from London.
