A sewing studio in Duluth needs help replacing a cutting table and overlocker after a long illness and repossession.

Duluth
For nine years I have run a sewing studio in Duluth. In February, a long illness and repossession took a cutting table and overlocker. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Tuesday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 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 $3,850 goes: • Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $2,000 • Initial stock: fabric: $910 • Shop repairs and licensing: $630 • Working capital for the first month: $310 Thank you so much. - Hadley

      small businesses are the heart of Duluth. Hope you're open again soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care.

        Sending good thoughts, Hadley. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Magelang donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Magelang.
