Back to business - Inna's comeback in Lviv
Inna has run a sewing studio for nine years; a break-in destroyed the equipment, and $1,000 will put it back on its feet.
🇺🇦 Lviv, Lviv Oblast, Ukraine1,917 views
For nine years I have run a sewing studio in Lviv. In July, a break-in took a cutting table and overlocker. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Saturday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 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 $1,000 goes:
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $660
• Initial stock: fabric: $155
• Shop repairs and licensing: $85
• Working capital for the first month: $100
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

How is Inna doing now?
Wishing you the best. I hope things turn around soon.
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Lviv.
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about replacing a cutting table and overlocker, advice is welcome too. Good question.
Wishing you the best. Hope you get there. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Lviv Oblast. I'll ask around and let you know.
Wishing you peace. Hope you make a strong comeback. Love from Rohini.
