Start-up fund for Nida: reopening a phone repair counter after a storm that collapsed the roof

For three years I have run a phone repair counter in Faisalabad. In August, 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 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 12 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 $350 goes: • Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $210 • Initial stock: replacement parts: $85 • Shop repairs and licensing: $30 • Working capital for the first month: $25 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
