Gerald needs a cutting table and overlocker to reopen a sewing studio

For nine years I have run a sewing studio in Bacolod. In March, floodwater took a cutting table and overlocker. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Sunday, and I employed 3 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. I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go. Where the $650 goes: • Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $430 • Working capital for the first month: $75 • Initial stock: fabric: $145 If you're reading this, thank you.
