Help Lệ restart a tailoring shop in Thủ Đức after a fire in the building
A tailoring shop in Thủ Đức needs help replacing three industrial sewing machines after a fire in the building.
🇻🇳 Thủ Đức, Hồ Chí Minh City, Vietnam591 views
For four years I have run a tailoring shop in Thủ Đức. In April, a fire in the building took three industrial sewing machines. 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $700 goes:
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $370
• Initial stock: fabric and thread: $125
• Shop repairs and licensing: $110
• Working capital for the first month: $95
Thanks for being kind about this.

take care, Lệ. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Blessings.
Sending strength. Looking forward to the next update. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Ahmedabad.
