Back to business - Adeline's comeback in Dallas
Adeline has run a sewing studio for three years; a fire in the building destroyed the equipment, and $3,400 will put it back on its feet.

For three years I have run a sewing studio in Dallas. In July, a fire in the building took a cutting table and overlocker. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Friday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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 $3,400 goes:
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $2,500
• Shop repairs and licensing: $280
• Initial stock: fabric: $620
Thanks for reading all this.

Thinking of you and your family, Adeline. Small businesses are the heart of Dallas. Hope you're open again soon. Greetings from Hubballi.
Rooting for you, Adeline. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. My neighbor in Buffalo donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Buffalo.
Hope it all works out. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Mardan!
