Jihan needs three industrial sewing machines to reopen a tailoring shop
A tailoring shop in Jakarta needs help replacing three industrial sewing machines after a long illness and repossession.
🇮🇩 Jakarta, DKI Jakarta, Indonesia1,172 views
For six years I have run a tailoring shop in Jakarta. In August, a long illness and repossession 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 3 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 $650 goes:
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $380
• Initial stock: fabric and thread: $75
• Shop repairs and licensing: $60
• Working capital for the first month: $135
Thank you so much.
