Help Maurício restart a tailoring shop in Rio de Janeiro after a break-in
A tailoring shop in Rio de Janeiro needs help replacing three industrial sewing machines after a break-in.
🇧🇷 Brazil874 views
For fifteen years I have run a tailoring shop in Rio de Janeiro. In August, a break-in took three industrial sewing machines. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Saturday, and I employed 1 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 $1,300 goes:
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $840
• Initial stock: fabric and thread: $250
• Shop repairs and licensing: $110
• Working capital for the first month: $100
Thanks for being kind about this.
