Natália lost a soldering station and testing tools to a long illness and repossession and needs $750 to reopen a phone repair counter and support the family.

For fifteen years I have run a phone repair counter in Feira de Santana. In August, a long illness and repossession 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 Tuesday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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 $750 goes:
• Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $460
• Working capital for the first month: $115
• Shop repairs and licensing: $175
Every share and every dollar helps.
