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

For three years I have run a sewing studio in Nnewi. In June, 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 Saturday, and I employed 1 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $600 goes:
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $430
• Initial stock: fabric: $65
• Shop repairs and licensing: $60
• Working capital for the first month: $45
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
