Tâm needs a cutting table and overlocker to reopen a sewing studio
Tâm has run a sewing studio for nine years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $550 will put it back on its feet.

For nine years I have run a sewing studio in Cầu Giấy. In July, a storm that collapsed the roof took a cutting table and overlocker. 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 4 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 $550 goes:
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $340
• Initial stock: fabric: $85
• Shop repairs and licensing: $95
• Working capital for the first month: $30
Glad we found this place.
