Help Flávio restart a tailoring shop in Belém after a storm that collapsed the roof
Flávio has run a tailoring shop for nine years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $400 will put it back on its feet.

For nine years I have run a tailoring shop in Belém. In January, 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 Saturday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 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:
• Initial stock: fabric and thread: $155
• Working capital for the first month: $80
• Shop repairs and licensing: $165
I hope life is good to you.
- Flávio
