Angelica needs a cutting table and overlocker to reopen a sewing studio
A sewing studio in Caloocan needs help replacing a cutting table and overlocker after a storm that collapsed the roof.
🇵🇭 Metro Manila, Philippines254 views
For three years I have run a sewing studio in Caloocan. In March, a storm that collapsed the roof took a cutting table and overlocker. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Friday, and I employed 2 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 $400 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $50
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $230
• Shop repairs and licensing: $120
Thanks for reading all this.

Thinking of you and your family. Hope this works out for you. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
Rooting for you. I hope things turn around soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Beersheba.
Hope it all works out, Angelica. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
Hang in there, Angelica. Hope you get there. Love from Ahmedabad
Thinking of you, Angelica. Hope you get there. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
