Help Marta restart a tailoring shop in Yonkers after a break-in
Marta has run a tailoring shop for fifteen years; a break-in destroyed the equipment, and $3,350 will put it back on its feet.

For fifteen years I have run a tailoring shop in Yonkers. In August, a break-in took three industrial sewing machines. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Saturday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 12 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 $3,350 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $640
• Shop repairs and licensing: $480
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $2,230
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
