For six years I have run a phone repair counter in Bekasi. In August, 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 Wednesday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 3 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 $550 goes:
• Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $280
• Initial stock: replacement parts: $120
• Shop repairs and licensing: $55
• Working capital for the first month: $95
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
