Hello, my name is Stephen, and I’m raising funds to help me buy the small cell phone repair shop where I work.

This shop means so much more to me than just a job. It has become a place where I’ve built real relationships with people in the Chula Vista community. Every day, customers walk in with broken phones, but what they’re really carrying is something much bigger: family photos, important memories, work messages, school assignments, and the ability to stay connected to the people they love.

Being able to help restore that connection is something I take pride in.

Over time, I’ve watched this shop become a trusted place for people in the community. Customers come back, send their friends and family, and leave kind reviews because they know we care about them and stand behind our work. That trust was not built overnight. It came from showing up every day, doing honest work, and treating people the way they deserve to be treated.

Now, I’ve been given the opportunity to take over the shop and make it my own. Right now, I am $15,000 short of my goal to becoming the new owner, continue serving our customers, and build something lasting for my family.

For me, this is not just about owning a business. It’s about taking a meaningful step toward stability, responsibility, and a future I can be proud of. It’s about using everything I’ve learned, everything I’ve poured into this work, and turning it into something that can support my family while continuing to serve the community.

With your help, I can take this next step, keep providing honest and reliable repairs, and grow a local business that people already know and trust.

Any contribution, no matter the amount, brings me one step closer to making this dream possible. And if you’re not able to donate, simply sharing this fundraiser would help more than you know.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story, for believing in small businesses, and for supporting me as I work toward buying this shop and building a better future for my family.
