Nakhon Ratchasima
For six years I have run a tailoring shop in Nakhon Ratchasima. In July, a long illness and repossession took three industrial sewing machines. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Wednesday, and I employed 2 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 $1,100 goes: โ€ข Shop repairs and licensing: $130 โ€ข Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $790 โ€ข Initial stock: fabric and thread: $180 If you're reading this, thank you. - Vilai

  • sending good thoughts. Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Nairobi so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Nakhon Ratchasima.

      How is Vilai doing now?

      • wishing you the best, Vilai. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.

        • This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
