Nenita needs three industrial sewing machines to reopen a tailoring shop

Nenita has run a tailoring shop for nine years; the demolition of the market destroyed the equipment, and $1,550 will put it back on its feet.

For nine years I have run a tailoring shop in Dallas. In September, 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 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 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 $1,550 goes: • Shop repairs and licensing: $610 • Working capital for the first month: $610 • Initial stock: fabric and thread: $330 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
