Back to business - Khadija's comeback in Alexandria

For fifteen years I have run a tailoring shop in Alexandria. In April, a storm that collapsed the roof took three industrial sewing machines. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Friday, and I employed 3 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 $700 goes: • Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $350 • Initial stock: fabric and thread: $120 • Shop repairs and licensing: $110 • Working capital for the first month: $120 Thanks for being kind about this.
