Jun needs three industrial sewing machines to reopen a tailoring shop
A tailoring shop in Sacramento needs help replacing three industrial sewing machines after a fire in the building.
🇺🇸 Sacramento, California, United States507 views
For nine years I have run a tailoring shop in Sacramento. In December, a fire in the building 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 1 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 $3,000 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $670
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $1,850
• Working capital for the first month: $480
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Bengaluru
