Help Michael restart a sewing studio in Leeds after a storm that collapsed the roof

For nine years I have run a sewing studio in Leeds. In November, a storm that collapsed the roof took a cutting table and overlocker. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Thursday, 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 $3,100 goes: • Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $1,800 • Initial stock: fabric: $630 • Shop repairs and licensing: $400 • Working capital for the first month: $270 Thank you for reading my story.
