Help Dennis restart a tailoring shop in Louisville after floodwater
A tailoring shop in Louisville needs help replacing three industrial sewing machines after floodwater.
🇺🇸 United States831 views
For four years I have run a tailoring shop in Louisville. In August, floodwater took three industrial sewing machines. 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 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $2,650 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $320
• Working capital for the first month: $620
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $1,710
Glad we found this place.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($189 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
