Dina needs a cutting table and overlocker to reopen a sewing studio
Dina has run a sewing studio for twelve years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $600 will put it back on its feet.

For twelve years I have run a sewing studio in 6th of October City. In August, a storm that collapsed the roof took a cutting table and overlocker. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Friday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 7 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 $600 goes:
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $440
• Shop repairs and licensing: $85
• Working capital for the first month: $75
I hope life is good to you.
- Dina

Hope it all works out, Dina. I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Spokane this morning.
Shared this with my family. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Jakarta!
