For three years I have run a tailoring shop in Quezon City. In January, a break-in took three industrial sewing machines. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Saturday, and I employed 2 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 $500 goes:
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $390
• Working capital for the first month: $40
• Shop repairs and licensing: $70
I hope life is good to you.

Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Saint-Denis
sending love. Hope the shop reopens soon. All the best.
sending good thoughts. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Pune so I could bring a meal
Thanks for sharing this, Angelo. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Quezon City!
Hope the shop reopens soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Rabat
