Start-up fund for Malin: reopening a phone repair counter after the demolition of the market

Malin has run a phone repair counter for fifteen years; the demolition of the market destroyed the equipment, and $3,300 will put it back on its feet.

Södertälje
For fifteen years I have run a phone repair counter in Södertälje. In July, the demolition of the market 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 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 10 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 $3,300 goes: • Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $1,650 • Initial stock: replacement parts: $780 • Shop repairs and licensing: $420 • Working capital for the first month: $450 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Malin

      You're not alone. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best
