Davi needs three industrial sewing machines to reopen a tailoring shop
A tailoring shop in Maringá needs help replacing three industrial sewing machines after a break-in.
🇧🇷 Paraná, Brazil2,541 views
For six years I have run a tailoring shop in Maringá. In November, a break-in took three industrial sewing machines. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Saturday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 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 $1,400 goes:
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $990
• Initial stock: fabric and thread: $210
• Shop repairs and licensing: $200
Thanks for reading all this.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Davi?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about replacing three industrial sewing machines, advice is welcome too. Thanks, that means a lot.
Keep going. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Maringá.
Any update on how things are going in Maringá?
Rooting for you, Davi. Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Mérida.
I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Blessings
