For six years I have run a phone repair counter in Denpasar. In December, a long illness and repossession 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 Friday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $250 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $135
• Shop repairs and licensing: $60
• Initial stock: replacement parts: $55
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

keep going. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Medellín
Hope things get better soon, Wawan. Small businesses are the heart of Denpasar. Hope you're open again soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Denpasar.
Take care. Hope the shop reopens soon. Don't give up. Blessings!
Sending love, Wawan. Looking forward to the next update. My husband and I read this together
is there anything that isn't money that would help Wawan?
take care, Wawan. I hope things turn around soon.
Sending strength, Wawan. Hope the shop reopens soon
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Wawan.
Sure. The biggest one is working capital for the first month, $135. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Happy to explain more.
Sending love, Wawan. Hope you make a strong comeback. I'll check back for the next update.
Hope things get better soon, Wawan. Small businesses are the heart of Denpasar. Hope you're open again soon. We're a small family in Orlando but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Denpasar.
So sorry you're going through this, Wawan. This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
sending strength. Hope you get there. Put this on a community board in Kathmandu this morning.
Hope things get better soon. Hope the shop reopens soon. After 21 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything
You're not alone, Wawan. This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless
Sending strength, Wawan. Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.
