A tailoring shop in Tamale needs help replacing three industrial sewing machines after the demolition of the market.

For fifteen years I have run a tailoring shop in Tamale. In August, 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 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 7 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 $300 goes:
• Initial stock: fabric and thread: $140
• Shop repairs and licensing: $40
• Working capital for the first month: $120
Every share and every dollar helps.

Praying for you. Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Tamale.
