For nine years I have run a sewing studio in Yekaterinburg. In August, floodwater took a cutting table and overlocker. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Friday, and I employed 3 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $900 goes:
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $340
• Initial stock: fabric: $250
• Shop repairs and licensing: $145
• Working capital for the first month: $165
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

hope it all works out, Halyna. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Love from Kediri.
wishing you peace. This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Dar es Salaam this morning. All the best.
Sending good thoughts. Shared it with a few friends. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you!
So sorry you're going through this, Halyna. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
