Back to business - Anderson's comeback in São Paulo
A tailoring shop in São Paulo needs help replacing three industrial sewing machines after the demolition of the market.

For six years I have run a tailoring shop in São Paulo. In September, 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 Wednesday, and I employed 1 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 $1,200 goes:
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $700
• Initial stock: fabric and thread: $175
• Shop repairs and licensing: $100
• Working capital for the first month: $225
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
