Help Jae-hyun restart a tailoring shop in Busan after the demolition of the market
Jae-hyun has run a tailoring shop for three years; the demolition of the market destroyed the equipment, and $2,150 will put it back on its feet.

For three years I have run a tailoring shop in Busan. In February, the demolition of the market took three industrial sewing machines. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Wednesday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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 $2,150 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $110
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $1,800
• Initial stock: fabric and thread: $240
Thanks for being kind about this.
- Jae-hyun

Hope it all works out, Jae-hyun. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Best of luck, Jae-hyun. Your post was clear and honest. After 20 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Sending good thoughts. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Üsküdar.
Thinking of you, Jae-hyun. Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings
this could happen to any of us. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless
Praying for you, Jae-hyun. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Busan.
Best of luck, Jae-hyun. Hope you make a strong comeback.
Take care, Jae-hyun. Small businesses are the heart of Busan. Hope you're open again soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care
