Help Fernando restart a sewing studio in Quezon City after a break-in

A sewing studio in Quezon City needs help replacing a cutting table and overlocker after a break-in.

Quezon City
For twelve years I have run a sewing studio in Quezon City. In February, a break-in took a cutting table and overlocker. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Tuesday, and I employed 1 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. I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go. Where the $700 goes: • Shop repairs and licensing: $120 • Initial stock: fabric: $145 • Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $435 Every share and every dollar helps. - Fernando
