For twelve years I have run a phone repair counter in Manchester. In July, 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 Monday, and I employed 3 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 $3,100 goes: • Working capital for the first month: $320 • Initial stock: replacement parts: $700 • Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $2,080 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Teresa

      Take care, Teresa. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.

        Wishing you peace. Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Hanoi but we're thinking of you. God bless

          reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to St. Petersburg so I could bring a meal.
