Help Cherry restart a tailoring shop in San Fernando after a long illness and repossession
Cherry has run a tailoring shop for twelve years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $700 will put it back on its feet.

For twelve years I have run a tailoring shop in San Fernando. In August, 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 Friday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 10 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 $700 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $150
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $400
• Initial stock: fabric and thread: $150
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
