Help Parker restart a sewing studio in Bristol after a fire in the building
Parker has run a sewing studio for three years; a fire in the building destroyed the equipment, and $2,450 will put it back on its feet.

For three years I have run a sewing studio in Bristol. In August, a fire in the building took a cutting table and overlocker. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Sunday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 10 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 $2,450 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $370
• Initial stock: fabric: $730
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $1,350
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

hope you get there. It's not much but it's yours. All the best
Rooting for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Parker.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. shop repairs and licensing comes first ($370) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Ask me anything else.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Anaheim!
Praying for you, Parker. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Take care.
Hope you make a strong comeback. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Bristol.
Wishing you the best, Parker. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings.
