Back to business - Leonid's comeback in Latina
Leonid has run a tailoring shop for three years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $2,700 will put it back on its feet.
🇮🇹 Latina, Lazio, Italy908 views
For three years I have run a tailoring shop in Latina. In June, 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 Sunday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 10 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 $2,700 goes:
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $1,800
• Initial stock: fabric and thread: $310
• Shop repairs and licensing: $200
• Working capital for the first month: $390
Glad we found this place.
