Back to business - Nina's comeback in Yekaterinburg
A sewing studio in Yekaterinburg needs help replacing a cutting table and overlocker after floodwater.
🇷🇺 Yekaterinburg, Sverdlovsk Oblast, Russia2,021 views
For three years I have run a sewing studio in Yekaterinburg. In March, floodwater 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 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 3 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 $1,200 goes:
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $700
• Initial stock: fabric: $210
• Shop repairs and licensing: $55
• Working capital for the first month: $235
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($382 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
