Emiliano needs a cutting table and overlocker to reopen a sewing studio

A sewing studio in Móstoles needs help replacing a cutting table and overlocker after a long illness and repossession.

Móstoles
For four years I have run a sewing studio in Móstoles. In July, a long illness and repossession took a cutting table and overlocker. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Thursday, and I employed 2 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. Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go. Where the $1,700 goes: • Shop repairs and licensing: $370 • Initial stock: fabric: $230 • Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $1,100 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Emiliano

Updates from Emiliano

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,007 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Small update. $524 so far, the plan for initial stock: fabric is now scheduled.

      hang in there. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Móstoles.

          Hope things get better soon, Emiliano. I hope things turn around soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking

          • Hugo J. Aguilar

            take care. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. After 6 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

            • Nghĩa Việt Phung

              Keep going, Emiliano. Hope this works out for you. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
