Back to business - Zuzanna's comeback in Gdynia
Zuzanna has run a sewing studio for six years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $600 will put it back on its feet.
🇵🇱 Gdynia, Pomerania, Poland1,203 views
For six years I have run a sewing studio in Gdynia. In March, 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 Sunday, and I employed 2 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 $600 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $165
• Shop repairs and licensing: $135
• Initial stock: fabric: $300
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
Updates from Zuzanna
Good news. Because of your gifts ($226 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Thank you all. We're at 32% now ($191). I'm honestly stunned. we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.
