For twelve years I have run a sewing studio in Raleigh. In January, 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 Thursday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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 $2,500 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $570
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $1,350
• Initial stock: fabric: $580
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Dhaka
Take care. This could happen to any of us. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings!
You're not alone, Greyson. Hope you make a strong comeback. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Laredo.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Greyson!
It's all in the list in the story. shop repairs and licensing is the big one at $570, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Fair thing to want to know.
Hope this works out for you. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Kanpur.
Take care, Greyson. Small businesses are the heart of Raleigh. Hope you're open again soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.
you're not alone. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up
Sending good thoughts. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Raleigh.
Hope things get better soon, Greyson. Hope you make a strong comeback.
Sending love, Greyson. Hope you make a strong comeback. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
