Start-up fund for Yuni: reopening a sewing studio after a long illness and repossession
Yuni has run a sewing studio for six years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $400 will put it back on its feet.
🇮🇩 DKI Jakarta, Indonesia986 views
For six years I have run a sewing studio in Jakarta Selatan. In July, a long illness and repossession took a cutting table and overlocker. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Sunday, and I employed 1 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $400 goes:
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $140
• Initial stock: fabric: $85
• Shop repairs and licensing: $75
• Working capital for the first month: $100
Glad we found this place.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Yuni?
Thank you. If you're in Jakarta Selatan I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Fair thing to want to know.
Thinking of you and your family, Yuni. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
