Help Charmaine restart a tailoring shop in Quezon City after a long illness and repossession
Charmaine lost three industrial sewing machines to a long illness and repossession and needs $250 to reopen a tailoring shop and support the family.
🇵🇭 Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines755 views
For three years I have run a tailoring shop in Quezon City. In November, a long illness and repossession took three industrial sewing machines. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Saturday, and I employed 2 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $250 goes:
• Initial stock: fabric and thread: $95
• Working capital for the first month: $75
• Shop repairs and licensing: $80
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
