For four years I have run a sewing studio in London. In July, the demolition of the market 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 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $2,800 goes:
• Initial stock: fabric: $400
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $1,900
• Shop repairs and licensing: $500
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

You're not alone, Taylor. Looking forward to the next update. Put this on a community board in Coimbatore this morning. Greetings from Coimbatore.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Jimma so I could bring a meal. Thinking of London
