Beatriz needs three industrial sewing machines to reopen a tailoring shop
Beatriz has run a tailoring shop for twelve years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $1,250 will put it back on its feet.

For twelve years I have run a tailoring shop in Ciudad de México. In March, 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 Tuesday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 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 $1,250 goes:
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $820
• Working capital for the first month: $195
• Initial stock: fabric and thread: $235
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

so sorry you're going through this, Beatriz. Hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings
Wishing you peace. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Warsaw.
Thinking of you and your family. Hope you make a strong comeback. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless

Praying for you, Beatriz. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Pune
