Back to business - Tyler's comeback in London
Tyler lost a cutting table and overlocker to a break-in and needs $4,900 to reopen a sewing studio and support the family.
🇬🇧 London, England, United Kingdom1,194 views
For six years I have run a sewing studio in London. In July, a break-in 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 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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 $4,900 goes:
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $3,100
• Initial stock: fabric: $750
• Shop repairs and licensing: $560
• Working capital for the first month: $490
Every share and every dollar helps.

sending love. Hope the shop reopens soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Epe.
Hope it all works out, Tyler. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up
so sorry you're going through this, Tyler. Hope you make a strong comeback. My neighbor in Rio de Janeiro donated after I showed her your page.
Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of London.
Hope you get there. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
