Back to business - Ana's comeback in Recife
A tailoring shop in Recife needs help replacing three industrial sewing machines after the demolition of the market.
🇧🇷 Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil1,206 views
For three years I have run a tailoring shop in Recife. In June, the demolition of the market 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 5 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 $1,150 goes:
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $670
• Initial stock: fabric and thread: $125
• Shop repairs and licensing: $120
• Working capital for the first month: $235
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Wishing you the best. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
