Haris needs a cutting table and overlocker to reopen a sewing studio
Haris has run a sewing studio for four years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $700 will put it back on its feet.

For four years I have run a sewing studio in Bekasi. In January, a long illness and repossession 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 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 $700 goes:
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $390
• Initial stock: fabric: $115
• Shop repairs and licensing: $95
• Working capital for the first month: $100
With deep gratitude,
Haris

Hang in there, Haris. Shared this with my family. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Bekasi.
Thanks for sharing this. This could happen to any of us. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Bekasi
Good luck, Haris. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless.
Best of luck, Haris. Hope the shop reopens soon.
