For three years I have run a sewing studio in San Francisco. In August, 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 Wednesday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 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 $4,400 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $540
• Initial stock: fabric: $720
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $3,140
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Christian?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about working capital for the first month, advice is welcome too. Thanks, that means a lot.
Thinking of you and your family, Christian. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Porto Alegre.
Take care, Christian. Hope you get there. Please keep us posted.
