Help Elisabeth restart a tailoring shop in Kassel after a fire in the building
Elisabeth has run a tailoring shop for six years; a fire in the building destroyed the equipment, and $3,650 will put it back on its feet.

For six years I have run a tailoring shop in Kassel. In July, a fire in the building took three industrial sewing machines. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Monday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 7 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 $3,650 goes:
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $2,150
• Initial stock: fabric and thread: $550
• Shop repairs and licensing: $390
• Working capital for the first month: $560
Thanks for being kind about this.

Take care, Elisabeth. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Kassel.
