Start-up fund for Mason: reopening a phone repair counter after a break-in
A phone repair counter in London needs help replacing a soldering station and testing tools after a break-in.
🇬🇧 London, England, United Kingdom973 views
For nine years I have run a phone repair counter in London. In September, 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 Friday, and I employed 2 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $3,050 goes:
• Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $1,950
• Initial stock: replacement parts: $650
• Working capital for the first month: $450
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

hope it all works out. I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
