For fifteen years I have run a tailoring shop in Hồ Chí Minh City. In July, floodwater took three industrial sewing machines. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Wednesday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 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 $500 goes:
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $260
• Initial stock: fabric and thread: $60
• Shop repairs and licensing: $75
• Working capital for the first month: $105
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
