Peng needs three industrial sewing machines to reopen a tailoring shop
A tailoring shop in Sacramento needs help replacing three industrial sewing machines after a long illness and repossession.
🇺🇸 Sacramento, California, United States1,808 views
For six years I have run a tailoring shop in Sacramento. 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 Sunday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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 $3,600 goes:
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $1,750
• Initial stock: fabric and thread: $620
• Shop repairs and licensing: $580
• Working capital for the first month: $650

Updates from Peng
Small update. $331 so far, I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts.
Thank you all. We're at 4% now ($146). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward shop repairs and licensing. - Peng

Wishing you peace, Peng. Small businesses are the heart of Sacramento. Hope you're open again soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.
