Busan
For fifteen years I have run a tailoring shop in Busan. In November, 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 Sunday, and I employed 1 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 $1,950 goes: • Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $900 • Initial stock: fabric and thread: $580 • Shop repairs and licensing: $150 • Working capital for the first month: $320 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Hye-jin
