Start-up fund for Wahyu: reopening a phone repair counter after the demolition of the market

For nine years I have run a phone repair counter in Jakarta Selatan. In July, the demolition of the market 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 Sunday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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 $500 goes: • Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $260 • Initial stock: replacement parts: $85 • Shop repairs and licensing: $60 • Working capital for the first month: $95 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
