For six years I have run a tailoring shop in Duque de Caxias. In February, a fire in the building 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 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $1,250 goes:
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $840
• Initial stock: fabric and thread: $200
• Shop repairs and licensing: $100
• Working capital for the first month: $110
I hope life is good to you.

Wishing you the best, Rosângela. I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
Sending strength. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Put this on a community board in San Diego this morning. Greetings from San Diego.
Hope it all works out, Rosângela. Shared this with my family. My neighbor in Istanbul donated after I showed her your page.
Rooting for you. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Rio de Janeiro.
