Help Silvia restart a sewing studio in Barranquilla after a long illness and repossession
A sewing studio in Barranquilla needs help replacing a cutting table and overlocker after a long illness and repossession.
🇨🇴 Barranquilla, Atlántico, Colombia625 views
For nine years I have run a sewing studio in Barranquilla. In September, 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 5 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 $450 goes:
• Initial stock: fabric: $85
• Shop repairs and licensing: $90
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $275
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Hope the shop reopens soon. Wish I lived closer to Bengaluru so I could bring a meal. Blessings
your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in Duisburg this morning. Love from Duisburg.
