For twelve years I have run a tailoring shop in Liverpool. In June, a break-in took three industrial sewing machines. 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 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 $2,950 goes: • Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $1,750 • Initial stock: fabric and thread: $600 • Shop repairs and licensing: $220 • Working capital for the first month: $380 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Dylan
