Back to business - Lubna's comeback in Fez
A sewing studio in Fez needs help replacing a cutting table and overlocker after a long illness and repossession.
Anywhere in the world765 views
For four years I have run a sewing studio in Fez. In July, 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 Tuesday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 10 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 $350 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $130
• Initial stock: fabric: $60
• Working capital for the first month: $160
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

keep going. Hope you make a strong comeback
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Lubna?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about shop repairs and licensing, advice is welcome too. It helps to be asked.
hope things get better soon. Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Corpus Christi so I could bring a meal. God bless.
Sending strength, Lubna. Shared this with my family. After 30 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything
Thinking of you, Lubna. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
