Renata needs three industrial sewing machines to reopen a tailoring shop
Renata has run a tailoring shop for twelve years; the demolition of the market destroyed the equipment, and $1,600 will put it back on its feet.

For twelve years I have run a tailoring shop in Seville. In March, 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 Sunday, 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 $1,600 goes:
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $690
• Initial stock: fabric and thread: $380
• Shop repairs and licensing: $160
• Working capital for the first month: $370
With deep gratitude,
Renata

wishing you the best. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Caruaru
Good luck, Renata. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Oakland so I could bring a meal. All the best
Praying for you. Hope this works out for you. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
Take care, Renata. Looking forward to the next update. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Stay strong. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Seville.
everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I hope June is when things finally get easier. Love from Mumbai.
