Help Lourdes restart a tailoring shop in San Nicolás de los Garza after a long illness and repossession

For fifteen years I have run a tailoring shop in San Nicolás de los Garza. In August, a long illness and repossession took three industrial sewing machines. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Sunday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 7 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 $1,050 goes: • Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $550 • Initial stock: fabric and thread: $220 • Shop repairs and licensing: $165 • Working capital for the first month: $115 If you're reading this, thank you. - Lourdes
