Help Putri restart a sewing studio in Jakarta Selatan after a storm that collapsed the roof
A sewing studio in Jakarta Selatan needs help replacing a cutting table and overlocker after a storm that collapsed the roof.
🇮🇩 Jakarta Selatan, DKI Jakarta, Indonesia989 views
For nine years I have run a sewing studio in Jakarta Selatan. In August, a storm that collapsed the roof took a cutting table and overlocker. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Friday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 10 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 $300 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $40
• Shop repairs and licensing: $95
• Initial stock: fabric: $165
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Sending good thoughts, Putri. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless
So sorry you're going through this, Putri. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Magelang so I could bring a meal. All the best.
Wishing you the best, Putri. It takes guts to ask. Well done. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.

thanks for sharing this. Hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.
Sending strength. Small businesses are the heart of Jakarta Selatan. Hope you're open again soon. After 16 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Surabaya.
