A sewing studio in Manchester needs help replacing a cutting table and overlocker after a storm that collapsed the roof.

For three years I have run a sewing studio in Manchester. 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 Tuesday, and I employed 3 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 $2,300 goes:
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $800
• Initial stock: fabric: $330
• Shop repairs and licensing: $540
• Working capital for the first month: $630
I hope life is good to you.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Addison.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. replacing a cutting table and overlocker is the biggest at $800. Good question.
Thanks for sharing this, Addison. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes
Best of luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Take care
