Help Teodoro restart a tailoring shop in Quezon City after a break-in
Teodoro has run a tailoring shop for twelve years; a break-in destroyed the equipment, and $800 will put it back on its feet.

For twelve years I have run a tailoring shop in Quezon City. In June, 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 4 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 $800 goes:
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $410
• Initial stock: fabric and thread: $165
• Shop repairs and licensing: $115
• Working capital for the first month: $110
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Hope you make a strong comeback. Greetings from Madurai!
