Frieda needs a cutting table and overlocker to reopen a sewing studio
A sewing studio in Nuremberg needs help replacing a cutting table and overlocker after a break-in.
🇩🇪 Nuremberg, Bavaria, Germany2,430 views
For nine years I have run a sewing studio in Nuremberg. In August, 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 Sunday, 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $2,200 goes:
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $1,000
• Initial stock: fabric: $230
• Shop repairs and licensing: $590
• Working capital for the first month: $380
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Praying for you, Frieda. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings
How is Frieda doing now?
Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Nuremberg.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Frieda
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. replacing a cutting table and overlocker is the biggest at $1,000. Let me know if you want more detail.
Rooting for you, Frieda. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
Take care, Frieda. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
shared it with a few friends. Love from Sacramento.
