Help Hadi restart a sewing studio in Bogor after the demolition of the market
Hadi has run a sewing studio for twelve years; the demolition of the market destroyed the equipment, and $700 will put it back on its feet.

For twelve years I have run a sewing studio in Bogor. In March, the demolition of the market took a cutting table and overlocker. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Sunday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 3 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 $700 goes:
• Initial stock: fabric: $120
• Shop repairs and licensing: $115
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $465
Thanks for being kind about this.

Hope it all works out. Small businesses are the heart of Bogor. Hope you're open again soon. All the best
Sending strength. Hope you make a strong comeback. Wish I lived closer to Moscow so I could bring a meal.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't give up. Thinking of Bogor.
take care, Hadi. Hope you make a strong comeback. Greetings from Lapu-Lapu.
Thanks for sharing this, Hadi. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
