A sewing studio in Taguig needs help replacing a cutting table and overlocker after a long illness and repossession.

Taguig
For nine years I have run a sewing studio in Taguig. In August, a long illness and repossession took a cutting table and overlocker. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Wednesday, and I employed 3 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 $500 goes: • Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $180 • Initial stock: fabric: $135 • Shop repairs and licensing: $85 • Working capital for the first month: $100 Thanks for reading all this.

Updates from Jenny

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($55 in total) I made the first payment toward replacing a cutting table and overlocker. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($65 in total) the plan for shop repairs and licensing is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Small update. $160 so far, the first invoice got paid this week.
