Help Aline restart a sewing studio in Guarulhos after the demolition of the market
A sewing studio in Guarulhos needs help replacing a cutting table and overlocker after the demolition of the market.

For twelve years I have run a sewing studio in Guarulhos. In July, the demolition of the market took a cutting table and overlocker. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Friday, and I employed 2 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $950 goes:
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $550
• Initial stock: fabric: $210
• Shop repairs and licensing: $60
• Working capital for the first month: $130
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
Updates from Aline
Quick update: $28 raised so far (3%). the plan for initial stock: fabric is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Aline.
Thinking of you, Aline. Small businesses are the heart of Guarulhos. Hope you're open again soon. Don't give up. Greetings from Poznań.
