Back to business - Salvador's comeback in Reading
Salvador has run a sewing studio for four years; floodwater destroyed the equipment, and $4,000 will put it back on its feet.

For four years I have run a sewing studio in Reading. In August, 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 Monday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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 $4,000 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $360
• Initial stock: fabric: $630
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $3,010
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Good luck, Salvador. I hope things turn around soon. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Take care. Hope you make a strong comeback. Wish I lived closer to Mumbai so I could bring a meal
so sorry you're going through this, Salvador. This could happen to any of us. Love from Mumbai.
wishing you the best, Salvador. Shared this with my family. I'll check back for the next update.
best of luck, Salvador. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Blessings.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Coimbatore donated after I showed her your page. Take care
Sending love, Salvador. This could happen to any of us. After 27 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
