Help Gregory restart a tailoring shop in Fayetteville after a long illness and repossession
Gregory has run a tailoring shop for four years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $3,000 will put it back on its feet.

For four years I have run a tailoring shop in Fayetteville. In February, a long illness and repossession took three industrial sewing machines. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Sunday, 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $3,000 goes:
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $1,600
• Working capital for the first month: $690
• Initial stock: fabric and thread: $710
With deep gratitude,
Gregory
