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

For three years I have run a sewing studio in Iloilo City. 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 Thursday, 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: $210
• Initial stock: fabric: $125
• Shop repairs and licensing: $100
• Working capital for the first month: $65
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
