Teresa lost a soldering station and testing tools to a storm that collapsed the roof and needs $3,100 to reopen a phone repair counter and support the family.

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

Best of luck, Teresa. Hope you make a strong comeback. Thinking of Manchester.
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.
This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Prayagraj.
