Josefina needs three industrial sewing machines to reopen a tailoring shop
Josefina has run a tailoring shop for nine years; the demolition of the market destroyed the equipment, and $750 will put it back on its feet.

For nine years I have run a tailoring shop in Bacolod. In January, the demolition of the market took three industrial sewing machines. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Thursday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 3 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $750 goes:
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $500
• Initial stock: fabric and thread: $60
• Shop repairs and licensing: $40
• Working capital for the first month: $150
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Stay strong. Hope you get there. I hope May is when things finally get easier. Love from Abuja.
Good luck, Josefina. Hope the shop reopens soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Kitakyushu
Thinking of you and your family, Josefina. Hope the shop reopens soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Thinking of you, Josefina. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 17 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Dhaka
Wishing you the best, Josefina. Shared this with my family. God bless
