Help Pongsak restart a tailoring shop in Khon Kaen after a storm that collapsed the roof
A tailoring shop in Khon Kaen needs help replacing three industrial sewing machines after a storm that collapsed the roof.
🇹🇭 Thailand1,052 views
For three years I have run a tailoring shop in Khon Kaen. In June, a storm that collapsed the roof took three industrial sewing machines. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Monday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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 $750 goes:
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $390
• Initial stock: fabric and thread: $135
• Shop repairs and licensing: $70
• Working capital for the first month: $155
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
