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. - 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.
