Emi needs three industrial sewing machines to reopen a tailoring shop
Emi has run a tailoring shop for three years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $2,400 will put it back on its feet.

For three years I have run a tailoring shop in Shinjuku. In August, 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 Friday, and I employed 2 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 $2,400 goes:
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $1,850
• Shop repairs and licensing: $260
• Initial stock: fabric and thread: $290
I hope life is good to you.
