Sébastien needs three industrial sewing machines to reopen a tailoring shop
A tailoring shop in Metz needs help replacing three industrial sewing machines after a fire in the building.
🇫🇷 France1,015 views
For four years I have run a tailoring shop in Metz. In September, 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 Saturday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 12 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 $2,200 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $530
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $1,000
• Initial stock: fabric and thread: $670
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
