For twelve years I have run a sewing studio in Liverpool. In June, a long illness and repossession took a cutting table and overlocker. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Sunday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 7 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 $3,050 goes: • Initial stock: fabric: $680 • Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $2,050 • Shop repairs and licensing: $320 With deep gratitude, Carter
