Uwe needs three industrial sewing machines to reopen a tailoring shop
Uwe lost three industrial sewing machines to a fire in the building and needs $1,350 to reopen a tailoring shop and support the family.
🇩🇪 Munich, Bavaria, GermanyPosted Oct 1, 2026716 views
For nine years I have run a tailoring shop in Munich. In September, a fire in the building took three industrial sewing machines. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Monday, and I employed 1 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 $1,350 goes:
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $830
• Shop repairs and licensing: $280
• Working capital for the first month: $240
Every share and every dollar helps.

Hang in there, Uwe. Your post was clear and honest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Belo Horizonte
