Back to business - Zulkifli's comeback in Surabaya
Zulkifli lost a cutting table and overlocker to a break-in and needs $400 to reopen a sewing studio and support the family.
🇮🇩 Surabaya, East Java, Indonesia534 views
For nine years I have run a sewing studio in Surabaya. In September, a break-in took a cutting table and overlocker. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Sunday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 3 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 $400 goes:
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $210
• Initial stock: fabric: $100
• Shop repairs and licensing: $45
• Working capital for the first month: $45
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Zulkifli.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. replacing a cutting table and overlocker comes first ($210) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid.
hope things get better soon. Hope the shop reopens soon. Love from Reims
