Help Mona restart a tailoring shop in Los Angeles after a fire in the building
A tailoring shop in Los Angeles needs help replacing three industrial sewing machines after a fire in the building.
Updates from Mona
Good news. Because of your gifts ($719 in total) the plan for initial stock: fabric and thread is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Small update. $424 so far, the first invoice got paid this week.
We're at 5% thanks to 7 of you. I made the first payment toward working capital for the first month. More news soon.

Hang in there. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Mona
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. replacing three industrial sewing machines comes first ($2,000) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Fair thing to want to know.
Wishing you the best, Mona. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. My neighbor in Setagaya donated after I showed her your page.
I hope things turn around soon. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too!
Hang in there, Mona. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
Keep going. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Los Angeles.
Thinking of you, Mona. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Mapo.
Stay strong, Mona. Shared this with my family
Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Obuasi so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Los Angeles.
You're not alone, Mona. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.

rooting for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.

Thinking of you and your family, Mona. Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out

Sending strength, Mona. Small businesses are the heart of Los Angeles. Hope you're open again soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
