For four years I have run a phone repair counter in Bangkok. In January, 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 Monday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 7 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 $300 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $75
• Initial stock: replacement parts: $90
• Shop repairs and licensing: $135

Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't give up. Greetings from Pune.
Thinking of you, Vilai. Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Ekurhuleni so I could bring a meal.
Thinking of you and your family, Vilai. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. God bless.
Sending love. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
