Annabelle needs three industrial sewing machines to reopen a tailoring shop
A tailoring shop in Cleveland needs help replacing three industrial sewing machines after a break-in.
🇺🇸 Cleveland, Ohio, United States3,819 views
For nine years I have run a tailoring shop in Cleveland. In August, a break-in took three industrial sewing machines. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Thursday, and I employed 2 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $2,250 goes:
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $1,100
• Working capital for the first month: $760
• Shop repairs and licensing: $390
With deep gratitude,
Annabelle

Hope it all works out. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 22 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings
Hope things get better soon, Annabelle. Gave what I could, wish it was more. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Boulogne-Billancourt.
Best of luck. Hope the shop reopens soon. Greetings from Thika
Sending good thoughts, Annabelle. Hope this works out for you
