Back to business - Quentin's comeback in Casablanca
Quentin has run a tailoring shop for twelve years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $500 will put it back on its feet.

For twelve years I have run a tailoring shop in Casablanca. In July, 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 Monday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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 $500 goes:
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $180
• Initial stock: fabric and thread: $130
• Shop repairs and licensing: $95
• Working capital for the first month: $95
Thanks for being kind about this.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Quentin
Praying for you, Quentin. Hope the shop reopens soon. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
