Gerald needs a cutting table and overlocker to reopen a sewing studio
Gerald has run a sewing studio for nine years; floodwater destroyed the equipment, and $650 will put it back on its feet.

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.

thinking of you. Hope the shop reopens soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.
So sorry you're going through this, Gerald. Gave what I could, wish it was more. God bless
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Hialeah.
