Ángel needs three industrial sewing machines to reopen a tailoring shop
Ángel has run a tailoring shop for three years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $2,900 will put it back on its feet.

For three years I have run a tailoring shop in Madrid. In February, a long illness and repossession took three industrial sewing machines. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Tuesday, and I employed 1 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 $2,900 goes:
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $1,950
• Initial stock: fabric and thread: $360
• Shop repairs and licensing: $140
• Working capital for the first month: $450
If you're reading this, thank you.

how is Ángel doing now?
Hang in there, Ángel. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Johannesburg.
Stay strong, Ángel. Small businesses are the heart of Madrid. Hope you're open again soon. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
Take care, Ángel. Hope this works out for you.
praying for you, Ángel. This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
