Greta needs a cutting table and overlocker to reopen a sewing studio
A sewing studio in Verona needs help replacing a cutting table and overlocker after floodwater.

For six years I have run a sewing studio in Verona. In March, floodwater 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 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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 $1,500 goes:
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $830
• Initial stock: fabric: $370
• Working capital for the first month: $300
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Verona.
Thank you. If you're in Verona I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.
Hope things get better soon. Hope this works out for you. My neighbor in Mysuru donated after I showed her your page. Take care
You're not alone, Greta. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Nottingham so I could bring a meal
