Help Ernestina restart a tailoring shop in Ho after a long illness and repossession
Ernestina has run a tailoring shop for fifteen years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $400 will put it back on its feet.

For fifteen years I have run a tailoring shop in Ho. 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 Tuesday, and I employed 2 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $400 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $45
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $320
• Initial stock: fabric and thread: $35
I hope life is good to you.
