Help Eamon restart a tailoring shop in Dublin after a storm that collapsed the roof
A tailoring shop in Dublin needs help replacing three industrial sewing machines after a storm that collapsed the roof.
🇮🇪 Dublin, Leinster, Ireland1,297 views
For three years I have run a tailoring shop in Dublin. In November, a storm that collapsed the roof took three industrial sewing machines. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Monday, and I employed 3 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 $3,900 goes:
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $2,400
• Initial stock: fabric and thread: $600
• Shop repairs and licensing: $310
• Working capital for the first month: $590
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

hope it all works out. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
is replacing three industrial sewing machines the biggest cost or is there more coming?
It's all in the list in the story. replacing three industrial sewing machines is the big one at $2,400, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Ask me anything else.
Stay strong. Small businesses are the heart of Dublin. Hope you're open again soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Toulon.
Thanks for sharing this. I hope things turn around soon. Take care
wishing you peace, Eamon. Hope you make a strong comeback. Thinking of Dublin.
Thinking of you, Eamon. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Flint
