Fresno
For three years I have run a tailoring shop in Fresno. In July, floodwater 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 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 12 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 $3,200 goes: • Working capital for the first month: $630 • Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $2,150 • Initial stock: fabric and thread: $420 With deep gratitude, Eun-woo

    It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Incheon.

      is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Eun-woo

      • Eun-woo Jung-ho DoOwnerAnswer

        Sure. The biggest one is working capital for the first month, $630. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks for asking.

      Stay strong, Eun-woo. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings

      • Antônio Alexandre Lima
