Đào needs three industrial sewing machines to reopen a tailoring shop
Đào has run a tailoring shop for four years; a break-in destroyed the equipment, and $250 will put it back on its feet.
🇻🇳 Cầu Giấy, Hanoi, Vietnam628 views
For four years I have run a tailoring shop in Cầu Giấy. In June, 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 Wednesday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 12 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 $250 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $60
• Initial stock: fabric and thread: $60
• Working capital for the first month: $130
Glad we found this place.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Đào.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. shop repairs and licensing comes first ($60) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid.
Sending strength, Đào. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 24 years in public service I know how hard it is to ask for anything.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Enugu.
how is Đào doing now?
Sending strength, Đào. Your post was clear and honest. My husband and I read this together
Thanks for sharing this, Đào. Gave what I could, wish it was more. God bless.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Đào?
Sending love. Hope the shop reopens soon. Love from Half-Way Tree.
