Back to business - Beverley's comeback in Mandeville
Beverley has run a sewing studio for nine years; a fire in the building destroyed the equipment, and $1,100 will put it back on its feet.
🇯🇲 Mandeville, Manchester, Jamaica58 views
For nine years I have run a sewing studio in Mandeville. In June, a fire in the building took a cutting table and overlocker. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Monday, 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $1,100 goes:
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $630
• Working capital for the first month: $240
• Initial stock: fabric: $230
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
