For three years I have run a tailoring shop in Kharkiv. In April, 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 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 10 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 $650 goes:
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $350
• Initial stock: fabric and thread: $85
• Shop repairs and licensing: $65
• Working capital for the first month: $150
I hope life is good to you.
