Start-up fund for Murilo: reopening a tailoring shop after floodwater
A tailoring shop in Juiz de Fora needs help replacing three industrial sewing machines after floodwater.

For six years I have run a tailoring shop in Juiz de Fora. In August, floodwater 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 2 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 $800 goes:
• Initial stock: fabric and thread: $165
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $490
• Shop repairs and licensing: $145
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
