Back to business - Nour's comeback in Marseille
A sewing studio in Marseille needs help replacing a cutting table and overlocker after a storm that collapsed the roof.
🇫🇷 Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France1,044 views
For fifteen years I have run a sewing studio in Marseille. In January, a storm that collapsed the roof took a cutting table and overlocker. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Monday, and I employed 3 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $2,250 goes:
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $1,650
• Working capital for the first month: $260
• Shop repairs and licensing: $340
If you're reading this, thank you.
