Grayson needs three industrial sewing machines to reopen a tailoring shop
Grayson has run a tailoring shop for six years; the demolition of the market destroyed the equipment, and $2,950 will put it back on its feet.

For six years I have run a tailoring shop in Birmingham. In August, the demolition of the market took three industrial sewing machines. 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 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $2,950 goes:
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $1,350
• Initial stock: fabric and thread: $630
• Shop repairs and licensing: $370
• Working capital for the first month: $600
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Keep going. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Ribeirão Preto.
Thinking of you and your family, Grayson. Hope you make a strong comeback. Love from Hubballi.
Hope things get better soon, Grayson. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
