Back to business - Nenita's comeback in Davao City
Nenita has run a tailoring shop for twelve years; floodwater destroyed the equipment, and $450 will put it back on its feet.

For twelve years I have run a tailoring shop in Davao City. In July, floodwater took three industrial sewing machines. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Monday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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 $450 goes:
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $280
• Working capital for the first month: $80
• Shop repairs and licensing: $90
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Sending strength. Small businesses are the heart of Davao City. Hope you're open again soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend!
sending love, Nenita. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Blessings.
hope it all works out, Nenita. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
So sorry you're going through this, Nenita. Hope you make a strong comeback. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Semarang!
